YOUR  EXCLUSIVE  FRANCHISE 


Only  a  pharmacist  can  conduct  a  pharmacy.  The  prescription 
business  is  your  exclusive  franchise.  Every  other  department 
is  in  competition  with  retail  establishments  other  than 
drug  stores.  That  is  but  one  of  the  reasons  why  every  effort 
should  be  made  to.  make  available  a  competent  prescription 
service.  This  is  a  service  which  only  the  pharmacist 
can  supply,  a  service  which  he  and  he  alone  is  qualified  to 
render.  Moreover,  prescription  business  is  profitable 
business.  The  records  show  that  year  by  year,  the  stores 
that  enjoy  the  largest  prescription  volumes  also 
enjoy  the  highest  net  earnings.

are  essential  in  carbohydrate  metabolism. 

The  enzyme,  Taka-Diastase,®  is  one  of  the  most  potent  starch  digestants  known. 
It  also  enhances  absorption  of  vitamin  B.

OF  THE 


Sixty-Ninth  Annual  Meeting 
OF  THE 


Maryland  Parmaceurical  Association 
HELD  AT  THE 
COMMANDER  HOTEL 
OCEAN  CITY,  MARYLAND 
JUNE  19,  20,  21,  1951 


FIRST  SESSION 

Tuesday,  June  19,  1951 

The  first  session  of  the  69th  Annual  Meeting  of  the  Maryland 
Pharmaceutical  Association  was  opened  at  the  Commander  Hotel, 
Ocean  City,  Maryland,  at  2:30  P.M.,  on  the  above  date  by  President 
Howard  L.  Gordy. 

President  Gordy,  in  a  few  well  chosen  remarks  introduced  Dr. 
Nathaniel  R.  Thomas  of  the  Worcester  County  Medical  Society.  Dr. 
Thomas  extended  a  most  hearty  welcome  to  the  members  of  our  or¬ 
ganization,  expressing  a  wish  that  we  would  have  a  most  successful 
Convention,  that  our  stay  in  Ocean  City  would  be  beneficial  and  that 
we  will  return  there  very  shortly. 

President  Howard  L.  Gordy:  Thank  you  Dr.  Thomas  for  your 
very  cordial  welcome.  I  am  sure,  we  of  the  Maryland  Pharmaceutical 
Association,  are  happy  to  be  here  in  Ocean  City,  so  that  we  may  com¬ 
bine  our  work  with  pleasure  and  return  to  our  homes  very  much 
refreshed. 

President  Howard  L.  Gordy:  Members  of  the  Association,  the 
69th  Annual  Convention  is  now  in  session.  Much  work  has  been  done 
by  the  officers  and  members  of  the  various  Committees  to  make  this 
Convention  a  success. 

I  sincerely  hope  that  your  accommodations  in  Ocean  City  will 
prove  satisfactory.  If  there  is  anything  I  can  do  to  make  your  stay 
more  enjoyable,  please  feel  free,  to,  call  upon  me. 

We  will  now  hear  the  reports  of  our  Committees.  The  first  re¬ 
port  on  our  program  is  from  our  very  efficient  Treasurer,  John  F. 
Wannenwetsch.

The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST 


REPORT  OF  TREASURER 
John  F.  Wannenwetsch 

Mr.  President  and  fellow  members  of  the  Maryland  Pharmaceu¬ 
tical  Association.  The  report  of  your  treasurer  which  I  am  herewith 
submitting  may  give  some  of  you  an  idea  of  vagueness.  You  will  note 
our  bank  balance  this  year  is  somewhat  greater  than  in  1950,  al¬ 
though  the  number  of  dues  paid  members  in  1951  is  not  as  large  as 
last  year. 

The  reason  for  the  larger  bank  balance  is  attributable  to  the 
fact  that  the  assistant  secretary  whom  wre  elected  remained  with  the 
association  for  the  first  two  months  of  the  year  and  then  accepted 
a  position  from  which  he  received  a  salary  more  commensurate  with 
his  ability.  Therefore  the  sum  set  aside  for  his  salary  shows  up  in 
our  large  bank  balance. 

I  have  been  assured  that  those  members  whose  dues  have  not 
been  paid  will  be  called  upon  soon  after  this  convention  and  it  is 
reasonable  to  expect  that  a  large  percentage  will  pay.  And  now  my 
report.

President  Gordy:  We  have  as  usual  received  a  very  comprehen¬ 
sive  report  from  our  splendid  Treasurer. 

Prsident  Howard  L.  Gordy:  The  next  report  in  order  will  be

bership. 


REPORT  OF  COMMITTEE  ON  MEMBERSHIP 
Manuel  B.  Wagner,  Chairman 

Mr.  President,  in  submitting  this  brief  report,  I  must  direct  your 
attention  to  the  fact  that  the  dues  paid  members  for  1951,  while  al¬ 
most  on  par  with  those  of  1950,  there  is  a  slight  difference  and  it  will 
be  the  duty  of  my  Committee  to  see.  that  we  collect  the  sufficient 
number  of  dues  from  our  membership  so  that  we  will  at  least  equal, 
if  not  go  ahead  of  the  year  of  1950. 

At  the  present  time,  I  am  presenting  to  you  a  complete  break-

ticularly  Mr.  Joseph  A.  Binko,  chairman,  who  has  worked  so  un¬ 
tiringly.  Also  anyone  and  everyone,  who  has  in  anyway  helped  that

President  Howard  L.  Gordy:  Thank  you  Mr.  Chairman  for  your 
report.  We  will  look  forward  with  pleasure  to  the  entertainment 
which  your  Committee  has  prepared  for  us. 

President  Gordy:  The  next  report  which  we  will  read  is  from 
the  Chairman  of  the  Executive  Committee,  Nelson  G.  Diener. 

REPORT  OF  EXECUTIVE  COMMITTEE 
Nelson  G.  Diener,  Chairman 

As  we  look  at  the  year  19  51,  the  question  on  everyone’s  mind 
is  Peace  or  Major  War. Whatever  eventuates  we  are  in  for  a  war 
economy.  This  means  higher  industrial  activity,  draft  of  manpower, 
civilian  restrictions,  and  heavy  taxes.  Obviously  the  uncertainty  of 
developments  are  far  reaching.  Notwithstanding  high  business 
volume,  increased  costs  and  severe  taxes  may  nevertheless  spell 
lower  earnings  by  year  end.  During  the  year  the  Executive  Com¬ 
mittee  held  six  meetings.  The  first  meeting  held  on  July  26th 
was  devoted  mostly  to  consideration  and  approval  of  the  list  of 
appointments  submitted  by  President  Gordy  to  the  various  com¬ 
mittees  to  serve  during  the  year.  All  Committees  with  minor  ad¬ 
ditions  and  deletions  were  approved. 

Dean  Noel  Foss  was  instructed  to  contact  and  suggest  to  the 
committee  one  manufacturer,  and  one  wholesaler,  to  be  added  to 
the  committee  on  the  School  of  Pharmacy. 

Mr.  Richardson,  read  a  letter  addressed  to  the  Board  of 
Commissioners  of  the  town  of  Bel  Air,  asking  for  relief  in  re¬ 
spect  of  the  imposition  of  the  town’s  personal  property  tax  on 
stocks  and  merchandise  carried  by  merchants  in  the  ordinary 
course  of  business.  Mr.  Richardson  thought  it  might  be  of  in¬ 
terest  to  pharmacists  throughout  the  state.  No  action  could  be  taken 
on  the  matter.  Mr.  Richardson  also  brought  to  the  attention  of  the 
committee  that  there  was  a  possibility  that  a  Bill  would  be  pre¬ 
sented  to  the  legislature  which  proposes  that  the  sale  of  anti-biotics 


The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST

for  veterinary  use  without  prescription  should  be  denied  the 
pharmacist  of  the  state.  It  was  agreed  that  we  vigorously  oppose 
such  legislation. 

Mr.  Wannenwetsch  noted  one  of  the  Bills  proposed,  would 
compel  pharmacists  to  include  stocks  of  liquors  in  their  personal 
property  in  applying  for  Traders  License.  It  was  decided  that  our 
legislative  committee  oppose  the  passage  of  this  Bill;  it  was  also 
voted  that  we  oppose  a  change  in  the  present  Hawkers  and  Ped¬ 
dler’s  Bill. 

The  Young  Rubber  Co.,  thru  communication  asked  that  the 
Maryland  Pharmaceutical  Association  sponsor  a  Bill  to  be  pre¬ 
sented  to  the  state  legislature  asking  for  elimination  of  vending 
machines  for  prophylactics.  The  committee  as  a  whole  conceeded 
such  legislation  while  desirable,  should  not  bear  the  sponsorship 
of  our  association. 

A  joint  meeting  of  the  officers  and  members  of  the  Executive 
Committees  of  the  Maryland  Pharmaceutical  Association  and  the 
Baltimore  Retail  Druggists’  Association  was  held  on  Monday, 
November  13th,  to  consider  the  selection  of  an  assistant  to  Exec¬ 
utive  Secretary,  M.  Strasburger.  There  were  four  applicants, 
letters  from  each  were  presented  outling  their  qualifications.  The 
qualifications  of  the  several  applicants  were  thoroughly  discussed 
and  the  selection  was  made  by  ballot.  Dr.  Samuel  W.  Goldstein 
received  the  greatest  number  of  votes  and  became  Assistant  Sec¬ 
retary  as  of  January  1st.,  1951.  Thanks  to  chairman  Wannen¬ 
wetsch  and  his  committee  for  the  time  and  interest  devoted  to  this 
matter. 

After  assuming  office  Dr.  Goldstein  was  offered  the  position 
of  chief  chemist  of  the  laboratory  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical 
Association.  Dr.  Goldstein  stated,  I  feel  that  at  the  present  time 
the  proffered  position  offers  me  a  greater  opportunity  to  serve 
the  pharmacy  profession  including  our  own  Maryland  group.  By  let¬ 
ter  to  your  chairman,  Dr.  Goldstein  tendered  his  resignation.  Duly 
motioned  and  seconded,  his  resignation  was  accepted. 

Selections  of  meeting  places  were  discussed.  Plans  were  pro¬ 
posed  for  our  Spring  Regional  Meeting  and  the  annual  conven¬ 
tion.  Again,  Easton,  Md.,  and  the  Tidewater  Inn,  was  decided  upon, 
for  the  Regional  Meeting.  Mr.  Lynch,  Manager  of  the  Comman¬ 
der  Hotel  in  Ocean  City,  Md.,  was  introduced  by  Secretary  Stras- 
burg.  Mr.  Lynch  presented  the  advantages  which  his  hotel  con¬ 
tained  and  which  would  be  suitable  for  the  holding  of  our  con¬ 
vention.  and  assured  we  would  be  comfortable.  After  due  consider¬ 
ation  the  Commander  Hotel,  was  selected. 

Chairman  Samuel  Raichlen  appeared  before  the  committee 
to  present  the  activities  on  Civil  Defense.  He  asked  that  a  cer¬ 
tain  portion  or  part  of  the  convention  program  be  set  aside  for 


10 


The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST 


its  discussion.  His  plea  was  granted  on  motion. 

An  advisory  committee  was  appointed  to  work  with  the  Sec¬ 
retary  to  care  for  matters  requiring  attention  and  which  would 
not  necessitate  calling  an  executive  meeting,  also  to  investigate 
and  help  to  facilitate  the  operations  of  the  office  of  Secretary. 

A  communication  was  read  from  the  Director  of  the  Medical 
Care  Welfare  relative  to  the  pricing  of  prescriptions  for  the  in¬ 
digent,  and  it  was  agreed  that  the  subject  be  taken  up  with  the 
Medical  Welfare  Commission  relative  to  the  adoption  of  a  new 
schedule  for  the  work  done  by  the  pharmacist. 

The  life  membership  application  of  Manuel  B.  Wagner  was 
accepted. 

Our  Secretary,  Miss  Cooper,  resigned  because  of  her  approach¬ 
ing  marriage.  A  full  month’s  salary  for  March  was  given  her. 

A  meeting  was  held  at  the  office  of  our  attorney,  Mr.  Her¬ 
bert  Levy  to  view  and  discuss  the  Supreme  Court  decision  on  Fair 
Trade. 

At  our  executive  meetings  and  numerous  meetings  with  Dr. 
H.  A.  B.  Dunning,  General  Chairman  of  the  Kelly  Memorial  Build¬ 
ing  Fund,  we  have  experienced  both  gladness  and  sadness.  Having 
obtained  the  approval  of  the  Zoning  Board  for  the  Charles  St. 
site,  a  resolution  was  passed  to  start  the  erection  of  the  building. 
An  appeal  was  filed  by  many  Charles  St.  residents,  churches,  and 
others.  The  court  reversed  the  Zoning  Boards’  decision.  There  is 
nothing  definite  concerning  the  erection  of  the  Memorial  that  I 
know  of,  at  this  time. 

Your  executive  committees  are  comparable  to  a  board  of 
directors;  it  is  in  all  intent  and  purpose  responsible  for  the  con¬ 
duct  and  management  of  affairs  and  operations.  Your  committees 
in  the  past  and  in  the  future  have  been,  and  always  will  be  deeply 
concerned  with  its  duty  to  the  Association  and  its  Membership. 

Inasmuch  that  this  report,  is  my  last  report  in  a  near  offi¬ 
cial  capacity,  and  because  I  have  the  courage  of  my  convictions, 
I  cannot  help  but  reiterate  that  our  association  is  not  oriented 
to  the  extent  of  its  best  interest,  in, 

1.  Ethics. 

2.  Inter-professional  Relations. 

3.  Membership  and  Attendance. 

4.  Makeup  of  the  Maryland  Pharmacist. 

President  Gordy:  Thanks  Chairman  Diener  for  your  complete 
report. 

President  Gordy:  The  next  report  is  that  of  the  U.  S.  P. 
and  N.  F.  Committee.  In  the  absence  of  Chairman  Irving  L.  Freed, 
this  report  is  submitted  by  Morris  L  Cooper.

REPORT  OF  U.S.P.  AND  N.P.  COMMITTEE 
Irving  Freed,  Chairman 

When  this  committee  analyzed  its  problems,  in  the  past  as 
well  as  the  future,  there  was  a  strong  desire  for  action.  However, 
it  heeded  the  thought  emanated  by  the  following  statement  made 
by  past  President  Diener,  which  was  a  summation  of  various 
ideas  presented  last  year.  To  Quote: 

“It  appears  to  me  that  the  U.  S.  P.  and  N.  F.  Committee 
has  a  tough  row  to  hoe. 

The  Manufacturing  and  Pharmaceutical  houses  with  their  spe¬ 
cialty  products  and  research  have  made  inroads.  Whether  we  can 
expect  the  physicians  to  forsake  those  meritorious,  scientific  prep¬ 
arations  in  place  of  U.  S.  P.  &  N.  F.  preparations  is  going  to  be  a 
matter  to  conjure  with.  The  New  Jersey  setup  is  entirely  differ¬ 
ent.  They  do  not  deal  so  much  with  U.  S.  P.  &  N.  F.  preparations, 
and  inasmuch  as  they  compound  the  products  which  have  been 
cited  here,  I  do  think  that  this  committee  before  going  ahead  and 
spending  money,  should  mark  time  and  see  what  can  be  done 
about  it  and  find  the  best  way  to  cope  with  it.” 

Inasmuch  as  the  aforementioned  statement  is  true,  we  all  know 
that  many  outstanding  specialists  in  pediatrics,  proctology,  derma¬ 
tology,  Nerology  and  cardiology  are  still  writing  for  U.S.P.  &  N.F. 
drugs  with  various  combinations.  We  also  know  that  the  general 
practitioners  are  the  most  prolific  writers  of  prescriptions  and  that 
they  are  interested  in  knowing  what  the  specialists  are  using.  The 
impact  of  detailing  by  the  large  Pharmaceutical  Houses  has  shaped 
the  habits  of  the  general  practicing  physicians.  A  survey  made  has 
shown  that  many  G.P.’s  are  interested  in  what  the  other  physicians 
are  using  in  therapeutics.  Therefore  your  committee  is  suggesting 
the  following  plan  in  order  to  present  their  case  in  the  least  expensive 
and  most  effective  manner: 

1.  Have  an  interprofessional  DINNER  MEETING  of  Doctors, 
Dentists  and  Pharmacists. 

The  expenses  of  the  dinner  to  be  paid  individually  by  each  Phar¬ 
macist  inviting  either  a  doctor  or  a  dentist. 

2.  This  affair  to  be  planned  by  the  interprofessional  committee 
and  the  U.S.P.  and  N.F.  Committee. 

3.  The  interprofessional  committee  should  present  various 
problems  between  the  physician  and  pharmacist. 

4.  The  U.S.P.  committee  should  have  on  hand  choice  and  popu¬ 
lar  prescriptions  using  U.S.P.  &  N.F.  ingredients.  These  prescriptions 
should  be  screened  and  a  commentator  on  these  prescriptions  should 
be  selected  from  the  School  of  Pharmacy  or  the  Medical  School, 
either  Dr.  Foss  or  Dr.  Krantz.

The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST 


5.  The  prescriptions  discussed  and  screened  should  be  printed 
in  pamphlet  form.  These  pamphlets  should  be  distributed  to  the 
audience.  A  record  of  the  discussions  at  this  meeting  should  be 
recorded  and  printed  so  that  a  copy  can  be  sent  to  every  Doctor 
and  Pharmacist  in  the  city  and  state. 

6.  If  this  meeting  proves  successful  more  frequent  meetings  can 
be  held  throughout  the  year.  This  plan  is  held  by  many  to  have  good 
possibilities  and  would  have  a  greater  effect  than  mailings  in  the 
absence  of  a  detailing  agent. 

The  chairman  of  this  committee  wishes  to  apologize  to  any  mem¬ 
ber  of  the  committee  with  whom  he  was  unable  to  contact  by  phone 
in  order  to  discuss  these  problems.  His  mother’s  illness  and  her 
eventual  death  made  it  impossible  to  call  a  full  meeting. 

President  Gordy:  Thanks  Mr.  Cooper  for  this  very  good  re¬ 
port. 

President  H.  L.  Gordy:  Committee  on  Pharmacy,  Morris  L. 
Cooper  Chairman’s  report  will  now  be  read. 

REPORT  OF  COMMITTEE  ON  PHARMACY 
Morris  Cooper,  Chairman 

The  past  year  has  been  marked  by  many  problems  confronting 
pharmacy.  These  have  been  of  both  an  economic  and  professional 
character.  In  other  words,  both  the  commercial  and  professional 
sides  of  the  drug  store  have  been  subjected  to  heavy  pressures  of  one 
kind  or  another. 

This  report  will  not  discuss  the  price  control  orders  issued  by 
the  OPS,  nor  will  it  consider  any  other  subject  evolving  from  the 
national  emergency.  These  will,  of  course,  be  dealt  with  in  other 
committee  reports  and  thus  will,  in  some  form  or  another,  be  brought 
before  the  convention. 

The  Committee  hopes  the  Association  will  give  serious  thought 
to  the  many  problems  precipitated  by  the  action  of  the  Supreme 
Court  of  the  United  States,  by  which  the  non-signer  clause  in  fair 
trade  laws  was  declared  invalid. 

Inasmuch  as  fair  trade  was  the  main  element  in  the  economic 
foundation  of  retail  drug  distribution,  it  follows  that  the  Supreme 
Court’s  ruling  will,  in  the  event  that  it  cannot  be  corrected,  have 
a  profound  effect  upon  pharmacy  as  a  profession. 

The  Committee  is  strongly  of  the  opinion  that  professional  phar¬ 
macy  will  suffer  if  it  must  be  practiced  in  an  environment  of  uncer¬ 
tainty  and  apprehension.  It  follows  that  the  drug  store  cannot  be 
professionally  strong  and  at  the  same  time  economically  weak. 


The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST 


13 


It  follows,  too,  that  pharmacy  in  all  its  aspects  has  a  very  -direct 
and  pressing  stake  in  how  well  fair  trade  can  be  made  to  stand  up  in 
the  face  of  the  emergency  which  the  Supreme  Court  has  created. 

The  refill  issue  continues  to  be  the  center  of  heated  controversy. 
The  A.Ph.A.  seeks  to  have  the  matter  properly  disposed  of  by  means 
of  a  regulation  promulgated  by  the  Federal  Security  Agency. 

The  National  Association  of  Retail  Druggists  is  seeking  to  have 
the  Food,  Drug  and  Cosmetic  Act  amended  through  the  enactment 
of  the  Durham-Humphrey  bill,  so  as  to  have  the  problem  solved 
through  legislation. 

It  is  the  opinion  of  the  Committee  that  both  of  these  approaches 
have  been  made  in  good  faith,  although  there  has  been  entirely  too 
much  heat  engendered  in  putting  their  ideas  across. 

The  Durham-Humphrey  bill,  in  the  opinion  of  the  Committee, 
would  best  meet  the  situation,  although  the  bill  as  now  written  has 
some  very  objectionable  provisions.  The  sponsors  of  the  bill,  Senator 
Humphrey  and  Congressman  Durham,  should  be  prevailed  upon  to 
eliminate  the  provision  empowering  the  Food  and  Drug  Administra¬ 
tion  to  restrict  to  prescrpition  drugs  which  it  considers  ineffective, 
and  also  those  which  it  feels  should  be  limited  to  prescription  as 
a  matter  of  course. 

The  Committee  feels  that  there  is  no  need  to  plane  such  drastic 
powers  in  the  hands  of  the  Food  and  Drug  Administration  in  order 
to  clarify  the  status  of  pharmacists  with  respect  to  the  refilling  of 
prescriptions. 

The  subject  of  prescription  pricing  has  been  much  in  the  lime¬ 
light  during  the  past  year.  There  is  much  to  indicate  that  prescrip¬ 
tion  pricing  is  done  in  a  haphazard  way,  and  therefore,  many  of  the 
fundamental  economic  phases  of  prescription  department  operation 
may  not  be  adequately  compensated  for. 

The  Committee  thinks  this  subject  is  important  enough  to  be 
referred  to  in  this  report,  together  with  mention  of  the  fact  that  in 
some  colleges  of  pharmacy,  prescription  pricing  has  been  the  sub¬ 
ject  of  special  consideration.  The  whole  subject  of  prescription  de¬ 
partment  operation  should  be  seen  in  the  light  of  its  basic  significance 
to  the  economic  stability  of  the  drug  store. 

While  the  prescription  department  has  always  been  the  drug 
stores  most  valuable  professional  asset,  it  has  now  become  equally 
important  from  the  purely  economic  point  of  view. 

This  report  should  also  include  a  discussion  of  the  college  of 
pharmacy  curriculum  as  it,  of  course,  has  a  direct  bearing  upon  the 
practice  of  pharmacy  at  the  drug  store  level.  While  the  Committee 
on  the  Pharmaceutical  Survey  endorsed  the  four  year  course,  and 
urged  that  constructive  efforts  be  made  to  strengthen  and  improve 
the  four  year  curriculum,  there  is  much  to  indicate  that  our  col¬ 
leges  of  pharmacy  are  inclined  to  a  five  year  course,  as  of  the  pres- 


n 


The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST 


ent,  and  that  they  are  looking  to  a  six  year  course  within  the  next 
few  years. 

This  subject  is  a  most  important  one,  and  merits  the.  thoughtful 
consideration  of  pharmacists  everywhere.  In  this  whole  matter,  our 
educators  have  at  times  appeared  to  feel  that  pharmacy  belongs  to 
them,  and  hence,  they  would  be  justified  in  handling  the  educational 
phases  as  they  saw  fit. 

This  is,  as  a  matter  of  fact,  fallacious  reasoning  which  could 
have  a  disastrous  effect  upon  pharmacy  as  a  whole,  if  persisted  in. 

The  Committee  doubts  very  much  that  pharmacists  would,  in 
general,  approve  of  a  five  or  six  year  course,  and  the  danger  is  very 
real  that  if  such  an  extended  course  became  obligatory,  attempts 
would  be  made  in  many  states  either  to  make  the  four  year  course 
compulsory  within  the  state,  or  else  take  more  drastic  steps  to  lower 
the  course  to  no  more  than  three  years  in  duration. 

Other  subjects  could  be  included  in  this  report,  but  those  re¬ 
ferred  to  here  are  of  major  importance,  and  include  within  them¬ 
selves  many  serious  problems  which  we  shall  have  to  face,  and  hope 
successfully  to  solve. 

President  Gordy:  Thank  you  Dr.  Cooper  for  your  splendid 
report.  Report  adopted. 

We  will  now  hear  the  report  from  the  Committee  on  increase  of 
A.Ph.A.  Membership  from  my  good  Chairman,  Dr.  George  P.  Hager. 

REPORT  OF  COMMITTEE  ON  INCREASE  OF  A.  PH.  A.  MEMBEBSHIP 
Dr.  George  P.  Hager,  Chairman 

During  the  twelve-month  period  ending  June  1,  19  50,  nineteen 
new  members  of  the  A.Ph.A.  from  Maryland  are  listed  in  the  Prac¬ 
tical  Pharmacy  Edition  of  the  Journal  of  the  American  Pharmaceu¬ 
tical  Association.  During  a  comparable  twelve-month  period  ending 
June  1,  1951,  sixteen  new  members  are  listed.  In  comparison  with 
the  figures  on  new  members  from  Maryland,  there  appears  to  have 
been  a  total  increase  in  A.Ph.A.  membership  amounting  to  approxi¬ 
mately  2000-2100  new  members  during  the  twelve-month  period  end¬ 
ing  January,  1951.  On  the  national  basis,  there  was  an  increase  in 
A.Ph.A.  membership  corresponding  to  about  1  new  member  for  each 
41  registered  pharmacists.  The  ratio  in  Maryland,  1  new  member  for 
each  75  registered  pharmacists,  compares  unfavorably  with  the  na¬ 
tional  figures.  In  order  to  keep  abreast  of  current  membership  in¬ 
creases,  approximately  29  new  members  per  year  from  Maryland, 
are  required.  These  figures  are  based  on  the  best  available  estimates 
which  admittedly  are  somewhat  rough  and  in  need  of  revision. 

The  Committee  on  Increase  A.Ph.A.  Membership  has  distributed 
literature  concerning  the  association  and  application  for  membership 


The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST

blanks.  The  practice  of  distributing  such  material  at  the  annual  con¬ 
vention  of  the  state  association,  has  been  instituted  as  an  experiment 
at  this  meeting.  Possibly  the  value  of  such  a  practice  will  be  difficult 
to  estimate;  however,  in  view  of  its  simplicity,  the  committee  recom¬ 
mends  its  continuation  and  possibly  its  extension  to  include  gather¬ 
ings  of  pharmacists  that  may  be  sponsored  by  various  other  organ¬ 
izations. 

As  a  recapitulation  of  some  of  the  current  facts  concerning 
A.Ph.A.  membership,  it  might  be  pointed  out  that  the  ten-dollar  an¬ 
nual  dues  include  subscriptions  to  both  the  monthly  Scientific  and  the 
Practical  Pharmacy  Editions  of  the  Journal  of  the  American  Phar¬ 
maceutical  Association. 

In  view  of  the  number  of  new  pharmacists  which  enter  the  pro¬ 
fession  in  Maryland  each  year,  very  little  additional  effort  on  the 
part  of  those  who  are  already  members,  should  double  or  triple  the 
annual  increase  in  the  number  of  A.Ph.A.  members  in  this  state 
which  has  always  enjoyed  a  position  in  the  vanguard  of  progress 
in  pharmacy.

REPORT  OF  THE  INTERPROFESSIONAL  RELATIONS  COMMITTEE 
Stephen  J.  Provenza,  Chairman 

Mr.  President,  Distinguished  Guests,  members  of  the  Maryland 
Pharmaceutical  Association  and  Friends: 

It  is  an  honor  and  a  pleasure  to  be  able  to  bring  to  you  the 
report  of  the  activities  of  the  Interprofessional  Relations  Committee. 

We  presented  an  exhibit  at  the  Convention  of  the  Maryland 
State  Dental  Association  held  at  the  Lord  Baltimore  Hotel  on  May 
6,  7,  8,  and  9  of  this  year.  More  than  750  dentists  and  dental  stu¬ 
dents  registered  at  this  annual  meeting.  Each  visitor  to  our  booth 


16 


The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST 


was  given  a  bulletin  entitled,  “Dental  Prescriptions  and  Dental  Medi¬ 
cation.”  Numerous  questions  were  asked  in  regards  to  obtaining 
narcotic  permits,  regulations  concerning  the  barbiturates  and  pre¬ 
scriptions  for  analgesics,  vitamins,  hypnotics  for  pre-  and  post¬ 
operative  sedation,  antibacterial  agents  and  hemostatics.  Every 
effort  was  made  with  the  dentist  to  promote  better  relations  with 
his  pharmacist  in  the  interest  of  the  patient’s  comfort  and  health. 
Pharmacists  are  invited  to  attend  this  annual  convention  to  see  these 
dental  exhibits  and  also  listen  to  the  interesting  speakers  on  the 
program.  A  brochure  entitled,  “Drugs  Commonly  Used  in  the  Treat¬ 
ment  of  Gingiva  and  Oral  Mucosa,”  compiled  by  Dr.  Lester  W. 
Burket,  Professor  of  Oral  Medicine  at  the  University  of  Pennsylvania, 
School  of  Dentistry,  was  also  given  to  the  visitors  at  our  exhibit. 

On  May  9th  your  chairman  was  invited  to  give  a  table  clinic 
during  the  above  mentioned  convention.  How  type  prescriptions 
could  be  written  containing  anti-bacterial  agents,  analgesics  and 
sedatives,  were  called  to  the  attention  of  the  attending  dentists.  A 
Certificate  of  Commendation  was  given  for  our  participation.  The 
Maryland  Pharmaceutical  Association  has  been  invited  to  present 
this  same  clinic  at  the  American  Dental  Convention  which  is  to  be 
held  in  Washington  in  October  of  this  year. 

Another  exhibit  was  presented  at  the  annual  meeting  of  the 
Medical  and  Chirurgical  Faculty  of  Maryland  held  in  Baltimore  on 
April  23,  24,  25  of  1951.  The  theme  of  our  exhibit  was  the  im¬ 
portance  of  the  physician  to  specify  on  his  written  prescription 
whether  it  should  be  refilled,  or  that  it  cannot  be  refilled,  or  that  it 
may  be  refilled  a  specified  number  of  times,  or  that  it  be  refilled 
without  question  during  a  designated  period.  Of  course,  it  was 
pointed  out,  this  does  not  apply  to  prescriptions  for  narcotics  covered 
by  the  Harrison  Act  and  the  Maryland  Anti-Narcotic  Act.  Each 
physician  registering  at  our  booth  was  eligible  to  win  an  electric 
razor;  the  winner  was  Dr.  Aaron  C.  Sollod  of  Baltimore.  Many  regis¬ 
trants  complimented  us  on  our  participation  and  voiced  their  opin¬ 
ions  on  other  current  pharmaceutical-medical  problems.  Literature 
pertaining  to  prescription  writing  was  passed  out  to  registrants. 

Your  chairman  has  attended  the  monthly  meetings  of  the  Com¬ 
mittee  on  Public  Health  Education  of  the  Baltimore  City  Medical 
Society.  Dr.  Amos  R.  Koontz,  who  is  chairman  of  this  important 
committee,  works  along  with  the  various  groups  representing  physi¬ 
cians,  dentists,  physicians’  wives  who  are  members  of  the  auxiliary 
of  the  State  Medical  Society,  pharmacists  and  others  who  are  in¬ 
terested  in  combating  the  socialization  of  the  practice  of  medicine. 
The  Maryland  Pharmaceutical  Association  last  year  made  a  cash 
contribution;  it  is  the  recommendation  of  this  committee  that  an¬ 
other  one  be  made  this  year.  Unlike  the  pharmacists  of  Maryland, 
the  medical  men  do  not  have  a  monthly  state  medical  journal.  Plans 


The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST 


17 


are  being  made  through  the  American  Medical  Association’s  financial 
aid  to  promote  a  state  medical  journal  which  will  better  inform  their 
members  of  the  work  and  accomplishments  of  their  various  commit¬ 
tee  activities. 

Gordon  A.  Mouat,  a  member  of  our  committee,  has  worked  out 
a  plan  with  the  Baltimore  City  Medical  Society  whereby  certain 
interested  pharmacies  in  the  different  sections  of  Baltimore  are 
giving  24-hour  pharmaceutical  service.  As  you  no  doubt  know  this 
same  medical  society  also  has  a  list  of  physicians  who  are  also 
interested  in  making  emergency  calls  after  12  o’clock  midnight. 

Pharmacists  in  the  past  have  looked  toward  the  medical  pro¬ 
fession  for  cooperation  in  an  effort  to  solve  our  mutual  problems. 
However,  today  the  picture  has  changed,  the  physicians  are  not  only 
coming  to  the  pharmacists  but  also  the  general  public  for  help  in 
their  great  problem  to  beat  down  President  Truman’s  ambitious 
health  program.  In  an  article  that  appeared  in  the  New  York  Times 
of  November  20th,  19  50,  Dr.  Elmer  L.  Henderson,  past  president 
of  the  American  Medical  Association,  disclosed  that  $1,110,000  was 
spent  in  an  advertising  drive  in  the  two  weeks  before  the  election 
(November,  19  50)  and  that  the  campaign  would  be  continued.  The 
144,500  member-physicians  have  contributed  $3,600,000  and  space 
was  bought  in  every  daily  and  weekly  newspaper  in  the  country  and 
in  thirty  national  magazines.  Time  was  used  on  353  radio  stations. 

The  Maryland  Society  for  Medical  Research  consisting  of  physi¬ 
cians,  pharmasists,  dentists  and  others  interested  in  promoting  the 
progress  of  science,  put  forth  enough  effort  to  defeat  the  Dog  Refer¬ 
endum  in  the  last  gubernatorial  election.  This  organization  is  to 
function  indefinitely  so  as  to  combat  the  anti-vivisectionists  if  they 
decide  to  sponsor  any  legislation  that  might  impede  research  in  the 
health  professions. 

Walter  E.  Albrecht,  pharmacist  member  of  the  Medical  Care 
Program  for  the  indigent  of  Maryland,  informs  me  that  great  effort 
is  being  made  to  get  the  participating  physicians  to  prescribe  the 
less  expensive  medicinal  preparations  of  the  U.S.P.,  N.F.  and  the 
N.N.R.  The  medical  members  of  this  committee  realize  the  impor¬ 
tance  of  Pharmacy  in  this  program  since  approximately  40%  of  the 
expenditures  are  spent  for  medication.  There  has  been  discussion 
on  the  idea  of  providing  a  formulary  listing  effective  but  less  expen¬ 
sive  medicinal  agents. 

Our  experience  in  these  interprofessional  activities  has  demon¬ 
strated  that  this  work  should  be  done  by  establishing  an  extension 
service  to  the  School  of  Pharmacy  of  the  University  of  Maryland. 
Here  the  proper  library  facilities  exist  besides  the  extensive  labora¬ 
tories  and  workers  trained  in  the  various  fields  in  the  health  picture. 
We  all  know  how  important  the  promotion  of  medicinal  agents  is 
to  the  pharmaceutical  manufacturer;  therefore,  a  department  of 


18 


The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST 


this  type  could  give  timely  UNBIASED  information  not  only  to  the 
pharmacist  but  also  to  the  physician  and  dentist.  Our  state  uni¬ 
versity  provides  a  similar  extension  service  to  the  farmers,  dairy 
industry,  firemen,  fishermen,  crabbers  and  a  host  of  others.  Why 
not  to  the  workers  in  the  health  professions?  We,  therefore,  recom¬ 
mend  that  a  committee  be  appointed  to  approach  Dr.  H.  C.  Byrd  in 
reference  to  establishing  this  service. 

In  closing  I  would  like  to  offer  my  personal  thanks  to  the  mem¬ 
bers  who  have  been  very  cooperative  in  giving  their  time  and  valu¬ 
able  suggestions  in  helping  me  carry  out  the  work  of  this  committee. 
If  any  of  these  men  are  present,  I  would  like  to  have  them  stand 
when  their  names  are  called:  Wilmer  J.  Heer,  Melvin  L.  Heer,  George 
J.  Stiffman,  A.  J.  Ogrinz,  Jr.,  Dr.  Noel  E.  Foss,  Dr.  L.  M.  Kantner, 
Irving  Freed,  Samuel  I.  Raichlen,  Gordon  A.  Mouat,  Morris  Cooper 
and  Walter  E  Albrecht. 

President  Howard  L.  Gordy:  Thank  you  Dr.  Provenza  for  this 
very  good  report. 

The  next  report  which  we  will  read  will  be  that  of  the  Publica¬ 
tions  Committee — Jack  Gordon,  Chairman. 

REPORT  OF  COMMITTEE  ON  PUBLICATION 
Jack  B.  Gordon,  Chairman 

Mr.  President  and  Members  of  the  Maryland  Pharmaceutical 
Ass’n:  It  is  with  extreme  pleasure  that  we  submit  herein  a  report 
of  the  Publications  Committee  which  had  the  signal  honor  of  serving 
the  Association  during  the  year  of  its  25th  Anniversary.  Our  secre¬ 
tary,  Mel  Strasburger,  informed  the  committee  that  the  year  1950 
represented  the  25  years  of  uninterrupted  publishing  of  our  Journel, 
“The  Maryland  Pharmacist.” 

It  was  decided  that  a  Silver  Anniversary  Issue  be  published  to 
commemorate  the  occasion.  Plans  were  formulated  as  to  how  to 
defray  the  additional  costs  which  would  be  incurred  in  running  off 
this  issue.  Our  present  advertisers  were  asked  to  participate  by 
doubling  their  advertising  copy  for  the  one  month.  The  response 
we  received  was  very  gratifying.  Also  the  drug  store  owners  in 
the  State  were  all  informed  by  mail  and  asked  to  participate  by 
placing  a  small  Ad  in  this  Silver  Anniversary  Issue. 

Congratulatory  and  complimentary  messages  were  received 
from  Gov.  Lane,  Senators  Tydings  and  O’Conor,  Mayor  D’Alesandro, 
President  Byrd,  Dean  Foss  and  many  others  including  messages  from 
the  state  secretaries  of  the  Pharmaceutical  Associations  throughout 
the  United  States.  The  response  was  most  gratifying  as  you  all 
already  know.

The  committee  wishes  to  express  its  grateful  thanks  to  our  good 
friend,  Dr.  Bob  Swain,  for  his  helpful  suggestions  in  assisting  us  on 
the  Anniversary  Issue.  Also  to  our  willing  and  helpful  worker, 
Si  Solomon,  and  to  our  secretary,  Mel  Strasburger,  many  thanks. 

President  Howard  L.  Gordy:  Thank  you  Mr.  Gordon  for  such  a 
nice  report.  Report  adopted.

Mr.  President  and  members  of  the  Maryland  Pharmaceutical 
Association. 

This  is  a  summary  of  the  various  activities  of  the  retail  drug 
store  gathered  from  many  reliable  sources. 

Business  on  the  average  is  good,  but  there  has  been  a  leveling 
off  recently  due  to  the  unrest  and  lack  of  a  solid  front  in  our  Na¬ 
tional  Capitol,  where  many  of  our  leaders  seem  to  be  unable  to  get 
together  on  National  issues  of  interest  to  all  of  us. 

The  prescription  department  is  the  heart  of  the  drug  store.  The 
dollar  volume  of  prescriptions  is  above  the  average,  but  their  number 
is  off  slightly.  New  products  which  are  coming  out  at  a  rapid  pace  are 
keeping  all  of  us  on  our  toes  to  keep  abreast  of  them.  Know  these  new 
products  and  their  merits  so  you  can  tell  the  physicians  about  them. 
This  is  one  way  to  keep  Pharmacy  on  a  higher  professional  plane. 
Keep  your  R  department  clean  and  well  stocked  so  that  you  can  fill 
your  customer’s  R  without  delay. 

The  various  other  departments  of  your  store  should  be  clean, 
neat  and  well  stocked  for  prompt  service.  Prompt  courteous  service 
will  pay  off.  Your  customers  do  not  want  to  wait.  This  is  a  sure  way 
to  meet  and  defeat  the  competition  of  Food  Markets  and  many  other 
types  of  stores  that  are  trying  to  invade  the  Drug  and  Toiletry  field. 

The  Korean  conflict  has  caused  some  shortages  but  these  have 
now  eased  and  are  in  good  supply. 

Fair  Trade  and  the  retail  drug  business  received  a  serious  set¬ 
back  when  the  non-signer  clause  was  declared  unconstitutional  by  the 
United  States  Supreme  Court.  Let  all  of  us  keep  our  heads  and  not 
rush  into  a  great  price  war.  Nothing  will  be  gained  by  doing  this.  We 
can  accomplish  more  by  carefully  planning  to  make  the  best  of  what 
is  left  of  the  law  work  to  our  best  advantage. 

Now  is  the  time  for  a  united  front  in  the  drug  business.  Be  sure 
to  join  your  association,  and  attend  the  meetings,  you  will  be  sur¬ 
prised  what  you  can  learn. 

Remember  in  union  there  is  strength.

President  Howard  L.  Gordy:  Thank  you  Mr.  Waples  for  a  fine 
report.  Report  adopted. 

The  secretary  will  now  read  a  communication  which  he  has  just 
received. 

WASHINGTON,  D.  C.  JUNE  19. 

HOWARD  L.  GORDY,  PRESIDENT 
MARYLAND  PHARMACEUTICAL  ASSOCIATION 
HOTEL  COMMANDER,  OCEAN  CITY,  MD. 

THE  OFFICERS  AND  MEMBERS  OF  THE  DISTRICT  OF 
COLUMBIA  PHARMACEUTICAL  ASSOCIATION  EXTEND  BEST 
WISHES  TO  YOU  AND  THE  MEMBERS  OF  THE  MARYLAND 
PHARMACEUTICAL  ASSOCIATION  UPON  THE  OCCASION  OF 
YOUR  ANNUAL  CONVENTION.  REGRET  PRIOR  COMMITMENT 
PREVENTS  ATTENDANCE. 

F.  ROYCE  FRANZONI, 

PRESIDENT  D.  C.  PHARMACEUTICAL  ASSN. 

President  Howard  L.  Gordy:  The  report  will  be  that  of  our 
Executive  Secretary,  Mr.  Melville  Strasburger: 

REPORT  OF  THE  EXECUTIVE  SECRETARY 
Melville  Strasburger,  Chairman 

If  the  report  which  I  am  about  to  present  is  not  too  complete, 
it  is  due  to  matters  over  which  I  had  no  control,  namely,  that 
I  was  unable  through  sickness,  to  attend  my  official  duties  for 
more  than  a  month  and  at  the  time  of  the  year  usually  given 
over  to  the  preparation  for  matters  concerning  our  annual  con¬ 
vention.  If  this  report  was  to  be  an  article  for  “The  Maryland 
Pharmacist,’'  the  caption  would  ’probably  be  “Where  do  we  go 
from  here.” 

In  my  report  in  19  5  0  stress  was  laid  on  the  Retail  Sales  Tax 
and  HR.  328  9.  Apparently,  the  problems  of  the  Sales  Tax  have 
been  overcome,  but  the  bill  before  Congress  regarding  the  refilling 
of  prescriptions  appear  to  be  in  the  same  status  quo. 

At  the  present  the  questions  giving  our  members  the  most 
concern  are  the  regulations  which  have  come  out  of  the  Office 
of  Price  Stabilization,  and  the  recent  adverse  decision  against  Fair 
Trade  handed  down  by  the  Supreme  Court  of  these  United  States. 

The  reports  which  have  been  called  for  by  the  O.  P.  S.  are 
in  a  measure  difficult  for  some  to  fill  because  their  business 
is  not  properly  segregated,  but  primarily  because  the  records  de¬ 
manded  are  not  usually  kept  by  retail  pharmacists.  These  records 


The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST 


21 


will  eventually  be  filled  and  there  is  a  probability  that  some  of 
the  reports  in  the  future  may  not  be  too  exacting. 

The  decision  of  the  Supreme  Bench  relative  to  Fair  Trade 
covers  only  the  non-signer  clause  and  does  not  invalidate  the 
Fair  Trade  Law  in  entirety. 

It  is  my  belief  that  no  one  will  undertake  the  sale  of  merchan¬ 
dise  at  the  same  level  which  was  carried  on  prior  to  the  passage  of 
the  Miller-Tydings  Bill,  and  from  the  reports  received  in  our  office 
the  greater  percentage  of  those  firms  operating  under  Fair  Trade 
will  in  as  far  as  possible  continue  to  operate  as  before,  especially 
when  this  is  done  intrastate. 

Some  manufacturers  are  establishing  agencies  either  through 
the  wholesaler  or  setting  up  their  own  warehouse,  and  no  mer¬ 
chandise  will  be  sold  unless  the  buyer  agrees  to  maintain  the 
minimum  sales  price.  We  have,  through  this  office,  devoted  time 
and  effort  during  the  19  51  session  of  our  State  Legislature  to 
prevent  the  enactment  of  legislation  which  would  be  detrimental 
to  our  cause. 

The  members  of  both  this  association  and  the  Baltimore  Re¬ 
tail  Druggists’  Association  could  save  us  time  and  work  if  they 
■would  pay  closer  attendion  to  the  work  done  for  the  Veterans 
Administration.  In  numerous  instances  we  have  requested  that 
the  pharmacists  note  that  the  physician  places  his  authorization 
on  the  prescription  and  also  that  the  recipient  acknowledges  the 
receipt  thereof.  In  case  this  is  a  narcotic,  the  carbon  copy  should, 
be  sent  and  marked  “This  is  a  true  copy  of  prescription - No. - ” 

Some  of  our  officers  and  committeemen  in  their  efforts  to 
be  of  service  to  organizations  of  national  and  local  origin  and 
•who  are  doing  noble  work  have  been  prone  to  offer  the  services  of 
the  office  of  the  secretary  to  be  of  assistance  in  the  furtherance 
of  their  charitable  work.  We  are  not  adverse  toward  helping  in  all 
such  matters  but  we  do  suggest,  that  before  such  promises  are  made 
that  the  secretary  be  contacted  so  that  such  time  be  allotted  for 
this  work  which  will  not  conflict  with  the  work  so  necessary  in 
our  duties  for  our  associations. 

I  am  hopeful  that  ere  another  year  has  passed  that  we  will  be 
established  in  our  proposed  new  building  and  in  which  we  will  be 
more  properly  equipped  to  carry  out  the  duties  which  are  ours. 
In  conclusion,  I  would  like  to  suggest  to  the  committee  on  resolu¬ 
tions  that  they  include  in  their  report  a  vote  of  thanks  to  the 
Henry  B.  Gilpin  Co.  for  the  use  of  our  present  temporary  head¬ 
quarters. 

President  Howard  L.  Gordy:  The  next  report  in  order  will 
be  that  of  the  Committee  on  Deceased  Members:

SECOND  SESSION 

Wednesday,  June  20 

The  meeting  was  opened  by  President  Gordy  at  10.15  A.  M. 

President  Gordy:  William  O.  Williams,  President  of  the  Stu¬ 
dent  Auxiliary  1950-51  will  now  present  his  report. 

REPORT  ON  STUDENT  AUXILIARY— 1 950-51 
William  O.  Williams,  Chairman 

Mr.  President,  Distinguished  Guests,  members  of  the  Mary¬ 
land  Pharmaceutical  Association  and  friends. 

It  is  indeed  an  honor  and  a  great  personal  pleasure  to  be 
allowed  time  on  the  agenda  of  this  Convention  to  report  on  the 
activities  and  accomplishments  of  the  Student  Auxiliary  during  the 
past  year. 

The  credit  for  this  successful  year  was  in  a  large  measure  due 
to  the  aid  and  assistance  given  by  Dr.  Noel  E.  Foss,  Dean  of  the 
School  of  Pharmacy.  It  was  through  his  efforts  and  the  ability  of 
Miss  Cole  to  rearrange  the  schedule  that  the  auxiliary  was  given 
a  one  hour  period  from  one  to  two  every  Tuesday  in  which  to 
hold  its  meetings.  A  program  was  arranged  to  attempt  to  briefly 
show  the  student  each  and  every  phase  of  pharmacy  by  selecting 
men  from  various  fields  to  speak  and  by  the  use  of  motion  picture 
films. 

The  first  meeting  was  held  in  November  and  a  film  was  featured 
which  explained  display  procedures  and  merchandising.  This  film 
was  obtained  from  the  Dupont  Company  and  the  accent  was  upon 
contact  or  sight  selling  and  individually  packaged  items. 

During  February  we  were  extremely  fortunate  to  have  Mr. 
Harry  S.  Harrison  present  the  retail  point  of  view  to  the  students. 
Certainly,  if  anything  could  have  aided  more  in  stimulating  interest 
in  the  meetings,  I  don’t  know  what  it  could  have  been  for  after 
this  meeting  no  one  wished  to  be  absent. 

In  March  we  turned  aside  slightly  from  our  work  in  pharmacy 
to  hear  an  address  by  a  representative  of  the  Red  Cross  in  connec¬ 
tion  with  the  Red  Cross  drive  and  were  shown  an  excellent  film  about 
their  work  in  the  field  in  Korea. 

In  April  returning  again  to  the  field  of  pharmacy,  we  heard 
an  address  by  Dr.  Fischelis  on  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Asso¬ 
ciation.  This  was  an  excellent  review  of  the  history,  aims  and  ac¬ 
complishments  of  the  organization.  Dr.  Fischelis  opened  the  meeting 
to  questions  after  his  address. 

On  April  17th,  Dr.  Hardin  from  Hynson,  Westcott  and  Dunning 
presented  the  manufacturing  viewpoint.  This  meeting  was  especially 


24  The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST 

interesting  and  Dr.  Hardin  was  held  approximately  30  minutes 
after  the  meeting  to  answer  questions  in  an  open  forum. 

The  students  who  were  now  only  about  a  month  from  gradua¬ 
tion  were  becoming  interested  in  their  future  after  graduation.  The 
auxiliary,  in  an  attempt  to  aid  the  students,  had  representatives  of 
various  drug  firms  come  and  present  employment  opportunities  for 
the  graduates  in  Pharmacy. 

On  May  15th  a  representative  of  Becton  and  Dickinson  was 
invited  to  speak  and  he  brought  a  film  with  him  showing  the  sale 
of  sickroom  supplies  in  a  pharmacy.  The  representative  recommend¬ 
ed  the  pharmacy  as  the  logical  outlet  for  such  supplies  because  ad¬ 
vice  on  usage  may  be  obtained  when  the  supplies  are  purchased. 
Here  the  professional  aspect  of  sickroom  supplies  in  a  pharmacy 
was  stressed.  The  fact  was  also  stressed  that  the  doctor  be  made 
aware  of  what  supplies  were  carried  in  the  pharmacy  so  that  he 
could  safely  recommend  a  place  of  purchase. 

The  last  meeting  of  the  year  was  held  on  May  29th.  The 
auxiliary  was  addressed  by  two  well  known  and  esteemed  members 
of  the  Maryland  Pharmaceutical  Association.  Mr.  Gordy,  your  Presi¬ 
dent,  spoke  on  the  Maryland  Pharmaceutical  Association — its 
methods  of  operations  and  its  aims  and  purposes.  Mr.  Strasburger, 
the  other  representative,  spoke  on  the  Baltimore  Association  of  Re¬ 
tail  Druggists,  and  its  aims  and  purposes. 

Upon  graduation  each  student  was  presented  a  membership 
in  the  Maryland  Pharmaceutical  Association  for  the  remainder  of 
1951. 

We,  the  officers  of  the  Auxiliary,  feel  that  in  the  coming 
year  the  effects  of  the  work  done  by  the  auxiliary  will  become  ap¬ 
parent  by  the  increased  membership  in  the  parent  Maryland  Pharma¬ 
ceutical  Association.  However,  we  also  feel  that  if  we  had  sufficient 
space  in  the  form  of  an  assembly  hall  or  meeting  room  to  house  all 
four  classes  in  the  school  instead  of  just  the  Junior  and  Senior 
classes,  we  would  be  much  more  effective  in  guiding  the  students 
into  association  work.  So  please  allow  me  to  say  in  parting  that 
if  you  are  able  in  any  way  either  individually  or  collectively  to 
hasten  the  day  of  a  student  union  building  in  Baltimore,  please  do 
so.  We,  as  students  and  now  as  recent  graduates,  feel  that  this  would 
add  tremendously  to  the  inter-professional  relations  of  the  schools 
and  would  aid  tremendously  in  work  such  as  the  Student  Auxiliary. 

President  Gordy:  Thank  you  Mr.  Williams  for  your  splendid 

talk. 


President  Gordy:  The  next  item  on  our  agenda  is  the  report 
of  your  President  and  I  am  calling  on  first  Vice-President,  Mr.  Wil¬ 
liam  Waples  to  preside. 


The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST 


PRESIDENTS  REPORT 
Howard  L.  Gordy 

The  69th  annual  Convention  of  Maryland  Pharmaceutical  Asso¬ 
ciation  is  convened  to  hear  about  our  year’s  activity  and  to  rub  elbows 
with  our  fellow  pharmacists  and  friends. 

I  would  like  to  inform  you  that  all  matters  of  importance  dur¬ 
ing  this  year  have  been  received  by  and  disposed  of  by  the  Executive 
Committee  or  the  various  committees  concerned.  All  appointments 
made  by  me  were  made  after  due  consideration  and  with  the  inter¬ 
est  of  the  Association  in  mind.  The  committee  reports  have  shown 
to  a  marked  degree,  how  our  committees  have  worked  during  this 
year  and  I  hope  they  meet  with  your  approval. 

The  attendance  at  our  regional  meetings  has  been  very  large — 
the  first  one  at  Hagerstown  and  the  last  one  at  Easton  on  the  “Sho”. 
This  goes  to  show  that  the  pharmacists  of  our  state  will  attend,  will 
participate  and  take  an  interest  in  our  Association  if  encouraged  by 
the  ofiicers.  The  attendance  and  participation  have  been  very  grati¬ 
fying  to  me  and  I  thank  you  very  much  from  the  bottom  of  my  heart. 
I  learn  something  new  every  day  in  our  drug  store  and  I  think  we  all 
can  learn  something  new  and  keep  abreast  of  the  times  by  attending 
the  meetings  of  our  Association. 

‘  We  have  passed  through  trying  times  during  my  year  as  Presi¬ 
dent  of  the  Maryland  Pharmaceutical  Association:  the  war  in  Korea 
which  has  taken  thousands  of  the  lives  of  our  boys,  the  government 
restrictions  placed  on  business,  the  shortage  of  help  created  by  the 
draft,  and  the  misunderstanding  created  by  our  government  in 
Washington.  All  of  this  disturbance  calls  for  cool  heads  and  wise 
counsel  so  let  us  put  forth  our  best  efforts  and  show  that  the  phar¬ 
macists  are  on  the  job. 

The  prescription  department  of  our  stores  still  remains  the 
heart  of  our  business.  So  might  it  ever  be!  Let  us  all  strive  always 
to  increase  our  professional  standing  and  prestige  and  keep  up  with 
the  other  professions. 

Progress  of  Pharmacy  in  the  last  50  years 

Pharmacy  has  traveled  a  hard,  rough  road  during  the  last  half- 
century  but  has  steadily  climbed  the  ladder  until  today  it  is  no  longer 
recognized  as  a  trade  but  as  a  highly  specialized  profession.  This 
progress  can  be  credited  in  a  large  degree  to  the  efforts  of  the  Ameri¬ 
can  Association  of  Colleges  of  Pharmacy.  Back  in  1904,  when  the 
requirement  for  admission  to  schools  of  Pharmacy  was  only  a  gram¬ 
mar  school  education  and  most  State  Boards  required  no  college 
training  but  a  mere  one  year  of  so-called  practical  training  and  then 
in  1906,  when  the  admission  requirements  were  one  year  of  high 


The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST 


school  and  again  in  1923,  when  a  full  high  school  education  was  re¬ 
quired  shows  the  progress  made  in  pharmaceutical  education. 

The  subjects  now  taught  in  our  Colleges  of  Pharmacy,  in  ad¬ 
dition  to  the  truly  professional  ones,  include  academic  matter  that 
is  highly  important  to  the  pharmacy  graduate  if  he  is  to  meet  the 
members  of  the  other  professions  on  an  equal  footing  and  is  to  under¬ 
take  to  do  his  part  in  the  advancement  of  the  profession. 

Yes,  Pharmacy  has  changed  quite  a  lot!  Very  seldom  is  the 
pharmacist  called  upon  to  make  an  infusion  or  a  decoction,  fresh 
made  plasters  or  a  konseal.  Our  pharmaceutical  chemists  and  re¬ 
search  fellows  have  also  kept  abreast  of  the  times  by  new  discoveries 
that  have  changed  the  methods  of  medication  and  the  subsequent 
change  in  our  prescription  stocks. 

The  advent  of  the  new  antibiotics  and  so-called  “wonder”  drugs 
has  changed  the  aspect  of  pharmacy  somewhat.  ACTH  and  cortone 
sales  have  no  doubt  increased  our  volume  of  business;  in  fact,  pre¬ 
scription  sales  are  supposed  to  have  increased  about  18%  during 
this  year.  We,  as  pharmacists,  should  also  increase  our  efficiency  by 
more  research,  more  attention  to  our  literature  and  more  attend¬ 
ance  at  our  meetings.  The  physicians  will  learn  to  depend  on  you 
for  more  information  if  you  are  able  to  meet  the  challenge. 

The  advent  of  vitamins  to  the  medical  field  has  created  new 
business  for  the  pharmacists  and  has  added  an  entirely  new  method 
of  medication.  The  pharmacist  would  do  well  to  learn  all  he  can 
about  vitamin  medication.  I  predict  vast  new  discoveries  in  vitamin 
therapy  and  also  new  so-called  wonder  drugs. 

Our  Association  Broadcasts 

Our  monthly  radio  broadcasts  have  greatly  increased  the  pres¬ 
tige  of  pharmacy  in  Maryland.  They  are  ably  prepared  and  nicely 
delivered  but  I  would  recommend  that  those  broadcasts  be  also  used 
on  the  Eastern  Shore  and  in  Western  Maryland  so  as  to  provide  a 
full  state  coverage. 

Civil  Defense 

The  Civil  Defense  Committee  led  by  Sam  Raichlen  and  ably 
assisted  by  Dr.  Noel  Foss  has  done  an  outstanding  job.  The  pharma¬ 
cist,  by  his  basic  training,  is  and  should  be  a  major  link  in  civilian 
defense  and  I  thank  Sam  Raichlen  for  his  fine  performance  and  his 
devotion  and  loyalty  to  our  association. 

School  of  Pharmacy 

The  reputation  of  the  School  of  Pharmacy  of  the  University  of 
Maryland  is  world-wide  and  I  think  we  in  Maryland  are  very  fortun- 


The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST 


21 


ate  in  having  a  Dean  of  the  caliber  of  Dr.  Noel  Foss,  who,  ably  as¬ 
sisted  by  Miss  B.  Olive  Cole,  will  still  further  enhance  its  reputation. 

Fair  Trade 

Fair  Trade  through  the  able  leadership  of  Simon  Solomon  has 
done  a  remarkable  job  for  the  pharmacists  of  Maryland  and  al¬ 
though  we  received  a  great  setback  by  the  recent  decision  of  the 
Supreme  Court,  I  honestly  believe  that  we  in  Maryland  can  salvage 
quite  a  lot  of  the  Fair  Trade  Act  and  still  conduct  ourselves  on  a 
fair  trade  basis.  I  wish  to  thank  Si  Solomon  for  his  fine  work  and 
devotion  to  our  association. 

Recommendations 

1.  That  the  pharmacists  of  the  State  of  Maryland  still  further 
increase  their  professional  prestige  by  making  their  prescription  de¬ 
partments  the  number  one  department  of  their  stores. 

2.  That  this  association  go  on  record  as  being  vigorously  opposed 
to  the  practice  of  some  pharmaceutical  houses  in  selling  their  sulfa 
preparations  direct  to  the  consumer  or  through  a  wholesale  Seed 
and  Feed  Store.  Although  these  are  for  chicken  and  animal  consump¬ 
tion,  I  think  they  should  be  sold  by  a  registered  pharmacist. 

3.  That  the  Office  of  the  Secretary  should  keep  the  President 
of  the  Association  fully  informed  of  all  important  matters  as  they 
happen  and  not  wait  until  the  next  Executive  meeting. 

4.  That  the  Secretary  take  notes  of  all  proceedings  at  these 
Executive  meetings  and  read  the  minutes  of  the  previous  meeting 
at  the  current  Executive  meeting,  and  that  these  minutes  be  kept  as 
a  permanent  record. 

5.  That  we  continue  our  good  work  in  Fair  Trade  and  support 
it  with  all  our  strength,  for,  regardless  of  the  Supreme  Court  deci¬ 
sion,  it  is  well  worth  fighting  for. 

6.  That  the  Association  have  more  social  affairs;  these  bring 
the  pharmacists  of  the  state  into  closer  contact  and  will  create  more 
fellowship  and  good  will  between  our  members. 

7.  That  we  continue  to  pull  for  the  Kelly  Memorial  building  and 
through  our  united  efforts  get  this  building  started  so  that  we  can 
not  only  do  honor  to  the  memory  of  Dr.  E.  F.  Kelly  but  also  have  a 
headquarters  that  we  will  be  justly  proud  of. 

Before  concluding  my  address,  I  would  like  to  express  my  sin¬ 
cere  appreciation  to  the  members  of  the  Executive  Committee,  to 
Secretary  Strasburger,  Dr.  Noel  Foss,  Dr.  L.  M.  Kantner,  Simon  Solo¬ 
mon  and  Charles  Austin  for  their  wonderful  cooperation  during  my 
year  as  President  of  MPA  and  to  the  chairmen  and  members  of  the 
various  committees  which  have  worked  so  faithfully.  I  would  also

like  to  extend  my  thanks  to  Wilmer  Herr  and  Jack  Parks  and  the 
B.R.D.A.  for  the  many  courtesies  they  have  extended  me.  To  the 
officers  and  members  of  the  T.A.M.P.A.,  I  extend  my  sincere  thanks 
for  their  fine  and  outstanding  cooperation;  without  the  help  of  the 
Auxiliary,  the  Maryland  Pharmaceutical  Association  would  not  be 
what  it  is  today. 

As  the  President  of  your  Association,  I  have  had  but  one  thought 
in  mind,  to  enhance  the  prestige  of  pharmacy  in  Maryland  and  to 
build  up  and  make  stronger  the  M.P.A.  As  the  years  roll  by,  I  shall 
always  look  back  with  the  greatest  appreciation  of  the  privilege  of 
having  served  as  President  of  the  Association,  and  shall  always 
cherish  the  honor  you  gave  me.  I  have  put  forth  my  best  effort  and 
hope  it  has  not  been  in  vain  and  I  thank  all  of  you  for  your  splendid 
cooperation  during  my  years  as  an  officer  of  the  Maryland  Pharma¬ 
ceutical  Association. 

Mr.  Waples:  Thank  you  President  Gordy,  for  your  very  kind 
address. 

It  is  customary  that  the  President’s  report  be  submitted  to  the 
Committee  on  Resolutions.  What  is  your  pleasure?  On  motion  of 
Mr.  Wannenwetsch,  seconded  by  Mr.  M.  B.  Wagner,  this  report 
was  submitted  to  the  Committee  on  Resolutions  for  consideration. 

Chairman  Waples:  At  this  time,  Mr.  Nelson  G.  Diener  has  a  few 
remarks  to  make. 

Mr.  Diener:  A  special  meeting  of  the  officers  and  Executive 
Committee  was  held  Tuesday  night  at  the  Commander  Hotel  in 
Ocean  City,  Md. 

On  motion  of  Solomon,  seconded  by  Richardson,  a  resolution  was 
passed  to  pledge  $5,000.00  to  the  Kelly  Memorial  Building  Fund, 
at  the  beginning  of  the  erection  of  said  memorial.  This  to  be  sub¬ 
mitted  to  the  membership  of  the  Maryland  Pharmaceutical  Associa¬ 
tion  for  approval. 

Chairman  Waples:  Upon  the  vote,  this  Resolution  was  unani¬ 
mously  approved. 

Chairman  Waples:  We  will  now  hear  the  report  of  Mr.  Frank 
Block,  Committee  on  Legislation. 

Mr.  Frank  Block:  Before  submitting  my  report,  I  would  like 
to  thank  the  members  for  their  cooperation.  I  particularly  want  to 
thank  Si  Solomon  for  his  assistance  and  give  credit  to  the  continuity 
of  this  report.

REPORT  OF  COMMITTEE  ON  LEGISLATION 
Frank  Block,  Chairman 

Your  chairman  has  often  wondered  whether  the  retail  phar¬ 
macist  takes  time  to  soberly  and  calmly  evaluate  the  results  that 
accrue  from  legislative  programs  conducted  year  after  year  for  the 
benefit  of  the  pharmaceutical  industry. 

You  do  not  have  to  be  told  that  it  is  the  duty  of  your  legislative 
committee  to  prevent  the  enactment  of  legislation  that  would  prove 
detrimental  not  only  to  the  retail  pharmacist  but  the  industry  as  a 
whole  and  on  the  other  hand  to  make  every  effort  to  enact  legisla¬ 
tion  that  is  beneficial  to  us. 

It  should  be  clearly  understood  that  when  the  committee  is 
asked  to  consider  any  legislation,  it  does  not  mean  that  it  necessarily 
approves  of  such  legislation.  The  committee  has  always  made  it  a 
policy  to  present  all  legislation,  particularly  that  of  a  controversial 
nature  to  the  rank  and  file  for  open  discussion  and  has  not  at  any 
time  insisted  upon  legislation  that  does  not  meet  with  the  general 
approval  of  the  retail  pharmacists  of  the  city  and  State. 

It  is  indeed  very  unfortunate  that  there  has  been  some  mis¬ 
understanding  as  to  the  motive  of  the  committee  relative  to  the  Revo¬ 
cation  and  Annual  Re-registration  Bills  presented  for  your  consider¬ 
ation  and  while  we  regret  that  the  proponents  of  these  bills  were  not 
given  an  opportunity  as  a  matter  of  fair  play  to  present  their  side  of 
the  picture  the  committee  was  very  much  elated  in  the  fighting 
spirit  shown  by  the  opposition,  irrespective  of  whether  they  were 
right  or  wrong,  as  it  is  only  when  we  have  honest  differences  of 
opinions  and  the  members  manifest  such  interest  in  a  program  that 
the  best  results  are  achieved. 

The  first  meeting  of  the  committee  was  held  on  November  22, 
1950.  At  this  meeting,  there  was  discussion  on  the  following  bills; 
which  if  approved  would  be  presented  to  the  19  51  Legislature. 

1.  To  require  pharmacists  and  assistant  pharmacists  to  secure 
annual  renewal  certificates  of  registration. 

2.  Empowering  the  Board  of  Pharmacy  to  suspend  or  revoke  the 
certificate  of  registration  of  registered  pharmacists  or  as¬ 
sistant  registered  pharmacists. 

The  purpose  of  No.  1,  was  for  the  Board  of  Pharmacy  to  have 
a  directory  of  our  pharmacy  man-power  and  by  the  participation  of 
all  the  States  in  this  play,  the  Pharmacy  man-power  on  a  national 
basis  would  he  available. 

No.  2,  was  to  give  the  Board  of  Pharmacy  the  power  to  revoke  or 
suspend  a  pharmacist’s  certificate  when  it  is  proven  his  practices 
are  such  to  endanger  the  public’s  health.  Of  course,  the  Board  would 
have  to  he  satisfied  from  competent  and  credible  evidence,  that  such 


30 


The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST 


action  was  necessary  for  the  protection  of  the  public  health  or  safety. 
An  appeal  could  be  taken  by  the  registrant  from  an  order  of  said 
Board  revoking  or  suspending  his  license  to  the  Circuit  Court  of 
the  county  in  which  the  registrant  resides  or  to  the  Baltimore  City 
Court  if  the  registrant  resides  in  the  city  of  Baltimore. 

When  these  bills  were  later  presented  for  discussion  at  a  meet¬ 
ing  of  the  B.  R.  D.  A.  there  was  so  much  opposition  that  the  chair¬ 
man  was  instructed  to  appoint  a  committee  to  confer  with  counsel 
for  the  purpose  of  carefully  studying  these  bills  and  if  necessary 
revise  them  and  then  send  a  copy  of  each  to  every  retail  pharmacist 
in  Maryland,  requesting  his  approval  or  disapproval.  After  compiling 
this  information  the  chairman  was  then  instructed  to  report  the  re¬ 
sults  at  a  meeting  of  the  association  for  further  discussion. 

Unfortunately,  at  a  later  meeting  of  the  B.  R.  D.  A.  which  was 
not  called  for  the  purpose  of  discussing  legislation,  the  matter  was 
brought  up  by  some  members,  despite  the  fact  that  the  chairman 
protested  that  he  was  not  yet  ready  to  report  the  results  of  his 
findings,  but  to  no  avail.  The  committee  decided  not  to  press  the 
matter  further,  as  it  felt  in  view  of  the  opposition  of  such  a  large 
minority  as  indicated  at  the  meeting,  it  was  for  the  best  interests 
of  all  concerned  not  to  present  these  bills  to  the  1951  Legislature. 

Also  at  the  November  meeting  of  Legislative  Committee  it  was 
recommended  by  the  chairman  that  inasmuch  as  this  was  the 
year  for  the  State  Department  of  Health’s  reorganization  program, 
the  pharmacists  should  request  a  change  in  the  title  of  Deputy  Food 
and  Drug  Commissioner  to  Drug  Commissioner.  This  matter  was 
discussed  with  the  Baltimore  Drug  Exchange  and  while  the  Drug 
Exchange  did  not  approve  they  did  not  oppose  it.  It  met  with  the 
approval  of  Dr.  Robert  Riley,  Director  of  the  State  Department  of 
Health.  We  are  hoping  the  change  will  take  place  before  1951  ex¬ 
pires. 

Another  meeting  was  held  by  the  committee  on  February  1, 
1951.  Chairman  Block  introduced  Mr.  Jacob  Miller  who  spoke  on 
legislation  to  limit  the  sales  of  contraceptives  to  drug  stores  and  to 
eliminate  sales  by  vending  machines.  It  was  suggested  that  Mr.  Miller 
should  obtain  the  approval  of  the  Medical  group  and  civic  organiza¬ 
tions,  and  that  he  should  enlist  the  cooperation  of  the  news  publica¬ 
tions.  It  was  stated  by  one  of  the  members  that  pharmacy  should 
eliminate  inferior  rubber  products  from  all  drug  stores  and  after 
cleaning  our  own  house,  then  an  appeal  could  be  made  to  the  Legis¬ 
lature  of  a  bill  that  would  outlaw  unsatisfactory  products  wherever 
they  are  sold.  This  proposal  was  based  upon  the  claim  by  Mr.  Miller 
that  only  unsatisfactory  products  are  dispensed  in  vending  ma¬ 
chines. 

Also  discussed  at  this  meeting  was  the  enactment  for  an  amend¬ 
ment  to  the  state  law  which  would  place  the  legal  responsibility 


The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST 


31 


for  indication  of  prescription  refill  on  the  physician.  It  was  decided 
not  to  advocate  such  an  amendment  at  this  time. 

Senate  Bills  Xo.  5  (Hawkers  and  Peddlers  Bill) 

The  perennial  hawkers  and  peddlers  bill,  the  purpose  of  which 
was  to  reduce  the  licenses  of  hawkers  and  peddlers  again  lifted 
its  ugly  head  in  this  term  of  the  Legislature.  The  Association, 
through  its  secretary,  protested  at  the  hearing  held  at  Annapolis 
that  to  pass  this  bill  would  be  an  injustice  to  all  retailers  who 
were  now  burdened  with  heavy  taxes,  licenses,  and  large  overhead 
expenses.  The  secretary  also  submitted  a  very  able  briei  as  requested 
by  the  chairman  of  the  committee  conducting  the  hearings.  It  is  per¬ 
haps  very  fortunate  for  us  that  this  was  included  in  the  program 
recommended  by  the  Case  Committee,  as  this  session  of  the  Legisla¬ 
ture  did  not  accept  any  of  the  important  legislative  recommenda¬ 
tions  of  the  Case  Tax  Survey  Commission.  This  commission  was 
brought  into  being  by  a  resolution  of  the  Assembly,  and  consisted 
of  many  of  the  ablest  students  of  taxation  in  the  State  of  Maryland. 
Although  this  body  labored  long  and  earnestly  on  the  inequities 
on  our  present  system  of  taxation,  for  some  unexplainable  reason 
it  was  unable  to  accomplish  very  much  and  because  of  the  contro¬ 
versial  nature  of  this  legislation  the  Hawkers  bill  was  lost  in  the 
shuffle.  It  was  not  enacted  into  law. 

Xarcotics  Bill 

Of  unusual  importance  to  our  group  was  the  Narcotic  bills  passed 
at  this  session  of  the  legislature.  The  situation,  particularly  in 
Baltimore  had  become  deplorable  and  drastic  action  was  necessary. 
It  was  indeed  very  gratifying  and  commendable  that  at  no  time  was 
any  member  of  the  pharmaceutical  profession  involved  in  the  dis¬ 
graceful  condition  that  prevails  especially  among  teen-agers. 

It  was  highly  gratifying  that  our  Association  supported  two 
narcotic  bills  introduced  by  Senator  Melnicove,  one,  setting  long 
mandatory  terms  of  imprisonment  for  convicted  dealers,  the  other 
providing  for  forfeiture  of  vehicles  used  to  transport  drugs  illegally. 
It  is  our  opinion  that  the  highly  nefarious  practice  carried  on  by  dope 
peddlers  will  soon  be  eliminated  because  the  bills  passed  makes 
imprisonment  of  two  to  four  years  mandatory  for  convicted  first 
offenders,  with  five  to  ten  years  for  second  offenders  and  from 
ten  to  twenty  years  for  those  convicted  three  or  more  times;  ex¬ 
cept  in  the  case  of  first  offenders,  suspension  of  sentences  is  for¬ 
bidden,  and  no  probation  or  parole  is  allowed  until  the  maximum 
sentences  are  served.  Sentences  for  possession  of  marihuana  alone 
will  run  from  six  months  to  two  years. 

The  Luber  Bill  also  provides  heavy  penalties  for  persons  con¬ 
victed  of  selling  or  giving  such  drugs  to  minors.

Bill  No.  470. 

This  was  a  bill  to  repeal  and  re-enact  with  amendments  the 
Hairdresser  and  Beauty  Culturists  Bill  to  read  as  follows: 

Section  479  (Practice  in  Beauty  Shops  Only). 

It  shall  be  unlawful  for  any  person  to  practice  beauty  culture 
(for  compensation)  of  any  kind  in  any  place  other  than  a  registered 
beauty  shop  provided  that  nothing  contained  in  this  sub-title  shall 
prevent  duly  registered  operators  from  practicing  beauty  culture 
upon  their  patrons  in  the  residence  of  such  patrons  by  appointment. 

While  apparently  this  bill  on  the  surface  appeared  perfectly 
innocuous,  the  Association  protested  on  the  ground  that  it  could 
possibly  be  construed  as  preventing  the  sale  of  certain  home  per¬ 
manents  (TONI,  etc.)  in  drug  stores.  It  was  not  enacted  into  law. 
(Brackets)  indicate  matter  stricken  from  existing  law. 

Bills  314  -  315  -  316  -  426. 

(Bills  dealing  with  Alcoholic  Beverages.) 

Only  Bill  316  actually  concerned  drug  stores  selling  alcoholic 
beverages  because  it  provides  that  no  license  shall  be  issued  for  any 
grocery  store,  confectionery  store  or  drug  store  in  Baltimore  City, 
except  in  case  of  renewal.  From  a  strictly  selfish  viewpoint,  this  bill, 
if  passed,  would  have  been  advantageous  for  those  drug  stores  now 
handling  alcoholic  beverages,  but  in  fairness  to  those  who  have 
never  had  alcoholic  beverages  for  sale,  but  who  may  want  to  handle 
it  in  the  future  and  also  in  fairness  for  those  who  open  new  drug 
stores  and  would  want  to  sell  such  merchandise  the  B.R.D.A.  opposed 
bill  316.  It  was  not  enacted  into  law. 

H.  B.  312  (DRINKING  STRAWS) 

319.  No  person,  firm,  corporation,  or  institution  operating  a 
place  of  business  in  the  State  of  Maryland  where  persons  are  served 
with  a  beverage  of  any  kind  for  consumption  upon  the  said  premises 
shall  serve  or  allow  or  permit  to  be  served  to  any  person  drinking 
straws  which  are  not  enclosed  in  the  following  manner:  Straws  when 
offered  for  use  shall  be  completely  enclosed  in  a  bactericidal  or  im¬ 
pervious  wrapper  to  be  opened  by  the  ultimate  user;  or  unwrapped 
straws  may  be  offered  for  use  from  a  sanitary  dispenser  loaded  from 
the  original  package  without  handling,  which  dispenses  one  straw 
at  a  time  directly  to  the  user  and  which  is  so  constructed  that  the 
interior  may  be  cleaned  and  kept  in  a  sanitary  condition.  Unused 
loose  straws  already  dispensed  from  the  dispenser  container  shall 
not  be  used  again.  It  was  not  enacted  into  law. 

SENATE  BILL  152 

AN  ACT  to  repeal  and  re-enact,  with  amendments,  Section  43B 
of  Article  27  of  the  Annotated  Code  of  Maryland  (1947  Supplement),

that  Section  43B  of  Article  27  of  the  Annotated  Code  of  Maryland 
(1947  Supplement),  title  “Crimes  and  Punishments,”  Sub-title 
“Contraceptives — Sale  by  Vending  Machines,”  be  and  it  is  hereby 
repealed  and  re-enacted  with  amendments,  to  read  as  follows: 

43  B.  It  shall  be  unlawful  for  any  person,  firm  or  corporation 
to  sell  or  offer  for  sale  any  contraceptive  or  contraceptive  device  by 
means  of  a  vending  machine  or  other  automatic  device  whether  or 
not  such  contraceptive  or  contraceptive  device  is  advertised  as  such 
or  as  a  prophylactic,  (except  in  places  where  alcoholic  beverages  are 
sold  for  consumption  on  the  premises.  This  exception  not  to  include 
railroad  stations,  air  and  bus  terminals) -—NOR  shall  it  include 
places  where  alcoholic  beverages  are  sold  for  consumption  on  the 
premises  in  Howard  County.  Any  person  violating  the  provisions 
of  this  section  shall  be  guilty  of  a  misdemeanor  and,  upon  conviction 
thereof,  shall  be  subject  to  a  fine  of  not  more  than  $1000  for  each 
such  violation,  and  the  use  of  each  vending  machine,  or  other  auto¬ 
matic  device  in  violation  of  this  section  shall  constitute  a  separate 
offense. 

SEC.  2.  And  be  it  further  enacted,  That  this  Act  shall  take 
effect  June  1,  1951. 

EXPLANATION:  ( — BRACKETS — )  indicate  matter  stricken 
from  existing  law. 

References  to  exempt  Narcotic  Forms  change  suggested  by  Geo. 
Smith. 

Mr.  Frank  Block:  Mr.  Chairman,  this  concludes  my  report 
and  I  would  like  the  Chair  to  recognize  a  member  of  this  assembly 
for  the  purpose  of  discussing  the  bill. 

We  do  not  want  to  get  into  any  controversy.  We  might  dis¬ 
cuss  it  to  get  further  information  and  that  is,  regarding  the  pro¬ 
cedure.  I  believe  that  it  was  to  have  been  picked  up  by  the  Execu¬ 
tive  Committee  but  we  have  not  heard  anything  further  about  it  and 
I  think  we  should  have  brought  it  up  again. 

Mr.  Waples:  We  shall  take  a  vote  on  this  very  fine  report 
that  Frank  Block  has  made  and  what  is  your  pleasure?  Report 
adopted. 

Chairman  Waples:  We  will  now  hear  a  report  from  Dr.  Kantner 
of  the  Board  of  Pharmacy.

ANNUAL  REPORT 
OF  THE 

MARYLAND  BOARD  OF  PHARMACY 
1950—1951 

L.  M.  Kara  trier,  Secretary 

In  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  the  law  governing  the  ac¬ 
tivities  of  the  Maryland  Board  of  Pharmacy,  as  set  forth  in  Section 
248  of  Article  43  of  the  Annotated  Code  of  Maryland,  this  report,  for 
the  year  ending  June  30,  1951,  is  respectfully  submitted  being  the 
forty-eighth  annual  report  to  the  Governor  of  Maryland  and  the 
thirty-eighth  annual  report  to  the  Maryland  Pharmaceutical  Asso¬ 
ciation. 

Personnel 

The  Board  met  on  June  20,  1950,  at  the  Lord  Baltimore  Hotel, 
Baltimore,  during  the  annual  convention  of  the  Maryland  Pharma¬ 
ceutical  Association,  and  reorganized  for  the  ensuing  year  reelecting 
Mr.  T.  Ellsworth  Ragland  president  and  Mr.  L.  M.  Kantner  secretary- 
treasurer,  the  other  members  of  the  Board  being  Messrs.  Robert  J. 
Spittel,  S.  Earl  Webster,  and  Charles  S.  Austin,  Jr. 

The  following  names  were  submitted  to  the  annual  convention, 
of  the  Maryland  Pharmaceutical  Association,  held  at  the  Lord  Balti¬ 
more  Hotel,  Baltimore,  on  June  20,  21,  22,  1950,  to  be  recommended 
to  the  Governor  of  the  State,  one  of  whom  the  Governor  will  select 
for  membership  on  the  Board  to  succeed  Mr.  Robert  J.  Spittel,  whose 
term  would  expire  on  April  30,  1951: 

Robert  J.  Spittel,  Catonsville 
Arthur  C.  Harbaugh,  Hagerstown 
Harry  R.  Meagher,  Riverdale 

On  June  6,  1951,  Governor  Theodore  R.  McKeldin  appointed 
Mr.  Arthur  C.  Harbaugh,  of  Hagerstown,  on  the  Board  for  a  term 
of  five  years  to  succeed  Mr.  Spittel. 

Examination 

The  Board  held  nine  meetings  during  the  year,  at  two  of  which 
examinations  were  conducted,  namely: 

September  20-21-22,  1950 
June  25-26-27-28-29,  1951 

There  were  eight  candidates  for  the  September  1950  examina¬ 
tion,  one  of  whom  was  unsuccessful. 

Examinations  were  held  on  June  25,  26,  27,  28  and  29,  1951,  at 
which  time  seventy-six  candidates  appeared  for  examination.  Five 
days  were  devoted  to  these  examinations.  Because  of  the  size  of  the 


The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST 


35 


class,  the  practical  pharmacy  examination  was  divided  into  two  sec¬ 
tions.  Although  an  additional  laboratory  has  been  provided  at  the 
School  of  Pharmacy,  the  facilities  were  not  sufficient  to  examine  the 
entire  class. 

The  Board  was  again  compelled  to  advise  the.  colleges  of  phar¬ 
macy  in  New  York  to  notify  their  June  graduates  that  it  would  not 
be  in  a  position  to  accept  their  applications  for  examination  before 
the  fall  examination. 


The  subject  assignments  at  the  examination  were,  as  follows: 


Materia  Medica  and  Toxicology . Charles  S.  Austin,  Jr. 

Pharmacy  and  Jurisprudence . S.  Earl  Webster 

Chemistry . Robert  J.  Spittel 

Chemical  and  Pharmaceutical  Problems . L.  M.  Kantner

Just  as  the  shortage  of  pharmacists  was  beginning  to  be  alle¬ 
viated,  pharmacy  is  again  confronted  with  the  possibility  of  a  great 
many  of  its  students  being  inducted  into  the  armed  forces.

Reciprocal  Registration 

Maryland  continues  to  attract  an  appreciable  number  of  phar¬ 
macists  by  reciprocity.  A  number  of  requests  have  been  made  to 
grant  temporary  registration  pending  arrival  of  applications,  which 
must  go  through  the  regular  channels.  The  Board  does  not  and  can¬ 
not  grant  temporary  registration. 

Each  applicant  for  reciprocal  registration  must  appear  before 
the  Board  for  a  personal  interview,  and  no  applicant  is  accepted 
until  he  has  been  approved  by  the  entire  Board. 

During  the  year,  two  prospective  applicants  were  advised  that 
their  applications  would  not  be  considered  by  this  Board  because 
they  did  not  meet  our  practical  pharmacy  experience  requirements. 

Total  Number  Granted  Registration  by  Reciprocity:  49 

Total  Number  Duplicate  Certificates  Issued:  4 

Total  Number  Certificates  Made  for  Reciprocity:  17

There  were  603  owners  of  pharmacies.  This  included  individual¬ 
ly  owned  drug  stores,  partnerships,  and  corporations.  There  were 
559  pharmacists  employed  in  these  pharmacies  and  37  pharmacists 
were  employed  in  hospital  pharmacies,  showing  there  were  1,199 
pharmacists  employed  in  retail  and  hospital  pharmacies  in  this  State. 

During  the  year,  24  new  pharmacies  were  opened,  6  were  closed, 
24  changed  ownership,  and  1  drug  store  was  converted  into  a  patent 
medicine  store. 

This  Board  issued  114  permits  to  manufacturers  of  drugs,  medi¬ 
cines,  toilet  articles,  dentifrices,  or  cosmetics  as  of  January  1,  1951. 
Practically  all  of  these  permits  were  renewals.  No  new  manufacturers 
are  approved  for  permits  until  the  applicants  have  appeared  before 
the  Board  for  personal  interviews.  Formulas,  labels,  and  all  printed 
matter  must  be  submitted  for  approval,  and  the  applicants  are  also 
required  to  furnish  such  other  information  as  the  Board  may  con¬ 
sider  essential. 

One  applicant  was  denied  a  permit,  and  two  were  advised  to 
make  alterations  in  their  labels. 

Legislation 

The  Board  recommended  to  the  Legislative  Committee  of  the 
Maryland  Pharmaceutical  Association  that  bills  be  presented  to  the 
1951  General  Assembly  calling  for  the  annual  reregistration  of  phar¬ 
macists  and  for  the  revocation  of  pharmacists’  certificates  of  regis¬ 
tration  for  certain  acts  that  would  be  detrimental  to  public  health. 
Because  of  opposition  by  some,  the  Legislative  Committee  decided 
it  was  inadvisable  to  request  this  legislation. 

The  Board  of  Pharmacy  approves  the  recommendation  of  the 
Board  of  Health  that  a  bill  be  introduced  at  the  next  session  of  the 
Legislature  to  add  a  new  section  to  the  Food  and  Drugs  Act  that 
would  place  “dangerous  drugs”  under  State  control.  The  Board 
makes  the  recommendation  that  this  resolution  be  referred  to  the 
Resolutions  Committee  of  the  Maryland  Pharmaceutical  Association. 

Prescription  Survey 

The  accompanying  table  shows  what  is  believed  to  be  an  accurate 
number  of  prescriptions  filled  in  the  State  in  1950. 

Five  hundred  and  forty-two  (542)  of  the  663  pharmacies  (81.70 
per  cent)  furnished  figures  that  made  this  report  possible.  What  is 
surprising  is  that  a  large  number  of  pharmacists  do  not  keep  records 
of  prescriptions  refilled.  However,  a  sufficient  number  of  such  records 
were  kept  to  make  it  possible  to  arrive  at  the  percentage  of  prescrip¬ 
tions  refilled,  which  in  round  figures  is  40  per  cent. 

The  average  price  of  prescriptions  ranged  from  90c  to  $2.10.  No 
estimated  cost  was  made  for  this  report  because  an  insufficient  num¬ 
ber  could  furnish  these  figures.  However,  to  arrive  at  some  figure  for

the  average  cost  of  prescriptions,  the  cost  of  medical  care  prescrip¬ 
tions  was  taken  for  this  purpose.  Under  the  State  and  Baltimore  City 
Medical  Care  Programs,  220,819  prescriptions  were  filled  at  a  cost 
of  $332,088.98,  or  an  average  cost  of  $1,504. 

It  would  seem  logical  to  apply  this  figure  as  the  average  cost 
of  all  prescriptions  filled  in  the  State.  If  the  above  figure  is  accepted, 
$10,141,990.88  were  paid  to  pharmacists  for  prescriptions.  If  pre¬ 
scription  prices  were  raised  just  10c  per  prescription,  it  would  aver¬ 
age  $1,017  per  pharmacy  in  the  State  for  prescriptions. 

Finances 

All  funds  of  the  Board  of  Pharmacy  are  deposited  to  the 
credit  of  the  Treasurer  of  the  State  of  Maryland,  and  disburse¬ 
ments  covering  expenses  of  the  Board  are  paid  by  voucher  is¬ 
sued  by  the  State  Comptroller. 

The  following  is  a  statement  of  the  receipts  and  disbursements 
of  the  Board  for  the  period  from  July  1,  1950,  to  June  30,  1951:

Mr.  Richardson:  I  thought  that  the  Association  might  be  inter¬ 
ested  in  some  of  the  remarks  that  I  made  on  May  23rd  to  the  State 
Board  of  Health  about  the  new  re-organizational  plan  which  was 
passed  by  the  Legislature  and  which  becomes  effective  July  1st. 

In  my  work,  I  have  been  trying  to  keep  you  informed  as  to  what 
is  transpiring  as  best  I  can. 

I  told  Frank  Block  when  I  arrived  here  that  I  had  contacted 
Dr.  Riley  relative  to  the  Organization  which  is  going  on  in  the  State 
Department  of  Health  at  the  present  time  and  Dr.  Macht  made  a 
complete  survey  of  the  Department  at  the  request  of  the  Legislature 
sometime  ago  and  submitted  it  to  the  Board  of  Health  for  their  ap¬ 
proval  or  disapproval,  for  whatever  they  wanted  to  do  with  it.  The 
outcome  of  that  report  has  been  the  report  of  the  complete  ^organ¬ 
izational  plan. 

The  State  Department  of  Health  is  now  divided  into  seven  (7) 
distinct  and  separate  Bureaus.  Our  Bureau,  the  one  we  are  most  in¬ 
terested  in,  is  in  the  several  classifications  which  at  the  present  time 
is  known  as  “The  Bureau  of  Hygiene.” 

There  has  been  some  discussion  as  to  whether  the  Chief  of  the 
Bureau  of  Drugs  where  Dr.  Kantner  now  is,  is  to  be  replaced  or  not. 
That  will  be  ironed  out  later  on  or  when  it  is  thought  possible  to  do 
so,  but  any  way,  there  is  now  a  set-up  in  the  State  Health  Depart¬ 
ment  of  Bureau  of  Drugs  and  Dr.  Kantner  is  now  the  Chief  of  the 
Bureau  of  Drugs  in  the  State  Department  of  Health. 

As  you  know,  this  question  has  been  agitated  for  quite  a  long 
while  since  the  law  was  enacted  whereby  the  Commissioner  of  Drugs 
and  the  Deputy  of  Food  and  Drugs  has  been  the  representative  of 
our  group  in  the  State  Department  of  Health.  Until  this  ^organiza¬ 
tional  plan  came  along,  it  was  not  possible  to  change  this  picture 
with  the  Legislature,  and  this  was  the  opportune  time  of  course, 
when  the  reorganizational  plan  was  proposed. 

Dr.  Riley  was  approached  and  was  very  receptive  to  the  idea. 
He  thought  that  we  should  have  a  separate  Bureau  because  the  two 
departments  were  entirely  separate  and  distinct,  as  far  as  the  opera¬ 
tions  were  worked  and  as  far  as  their  inspectors  were  concerned. 

As  you  know,  Dr.  Kantner’s  office  has  two  inspectors,  Mr.  Adams 
and  Mr.  Barnhart  who  do  nothing  but  inspect  drugs  and  pick  up 
samples  from  the  manufacturer  and  retailers,  etc.,  and  that  is  en¬ 
tirely  different  from  the  operations  of  the  Bureau  of  Foods. 

I  do  want  to  say  this  for  Dr.  Riley  and  I  hope  that  you  will  re¬ 
member  that  he  h.as  been  most  cooperative  and  most  receptive  to 
the  idea,  and  very  willingly  worked  along  with  us  on  this  plan  to 
work  it  out,  and  I  think  we  should  give  him  a  vote  of  thanks  for 
doing  this.

I  also  want  to  take  this  opportunity  to  tell  you  that  the  highest 
esteem  is  held  for  the  Drug  Commissioner  of  the  State  Department 
of  Health. 

Dr.  Kantner  has  been  and  is  -doing  an  outstanding  job  in  the 
State  Department  of  Health  and  he  is  recognized  as  a  very  capable 
and  a  highly  efficient  individual  in  his  work  and  I  want  you  to  know 
that  he  is  appreciated  and  that  the  men  in  the  Department  think  a 
lot  of  him  and  it  was  only  at  the  last  meeting  that  Dr.  Riley  told  me 
how  much  he  thought  of  this  man  Kantner  and  what  a  good  job  he 
was  doing. 

That  is  all  I  have  to  say  on  the  reorganizational  plan  and  I  do 
not  want  you  to  think  that  I  am  sitting  up  there  in  the  meetings  and 
not  doing  what  I  can  because  whenever  the  opportunity  presents 
itself  I  do  not  mind  speaking  my  little  piece  as  far  as  pharmacy 
is  concerned. 

We  have  a  medical  eare  program  which,  as  you  know,  has  been 
brought  up  and  has  been  given  consideration  by  the  Council  of  Medi¬ 
cal  Care.  I  want  to  say  again  that  if  we  have  a  fund  that  we  want  to 
take  up  that  it  should  go  either  through  Albrecht  or  me  or  through 
anyone  you  want  to  send  it  through  the  Council  and  from  the  Coun¬ 
cil  it  comes  back  to  the  Board  of  Health  for  final  action.  In  other 
words  we  will  not  take  care  of  anything  until  it  has  gone  through 
the  Council,  because  the  Council  is  such  a  wonderful  group  of  men, 
very  capable  and  able  and  their  opinion  is  very  highly  respected  by 
the  Board  I  can  assure  you. 

We  have  quite  a  few  figures  which  came  out  of  the  Department 
of  Health  which  I  think  you  will  be  interested  in  and  that  is  the 
payments  for  the  Month  of  April  which  came  to  me  just  before  I 
left  home.  During  the  month  of  April  the  County  Medical  program 
cost  was  $64,940.21.  Of  that  amount  the  physicians  received  $36,452.- 
71,  the  dentists  $2,640.00,  the  pharmacists  $14,850.50  and  others 
$997.00.  Roughly,  the  pharmacists  received  just  a  little  bit  better 
than  40%  of  the  entire  Medical  Program  in  the  month  of  April.  The 
group  had  discussed  this  and  they  think  the  cost  of  the  Drug  Pro¬ 
gram  wTas  running  relatively  high.  I  don’t  think  so  and  my  answer 
to  that  is  if  the  Medical  Care  Program  cost  is  to  be  lessened,  it  rests 
entirely  in  the  hands  of  the  physicians,  as  they  are  the  ones  who  are 
responsible  for  the  prescriptions  that  you  receive.  If  they  prescribe 
high  priced  Vitamins  and  Anti-Bioties  that  rests  in  their  laps. 

As  I  told  Dr.  Pincolff,  if  we  are  to  compound  these  prescriptions 
as  they  are  written,  then  we  will  have  to  have  a  fee  that  we  are  en¬ 
titled  to.  If  they  want  to  curtail  that  expense,  they  will  have  to  write 
for  U.S.P.  and  N.F.  preparations  which  they  should  know  and  if  they 
do  not  know,  it  is  the  responsibility  of  the  school  that  they  do  know. 
In  that  respect  there  has  been  a  proposal  to  publish  a  booklet  or  a 


The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST 


43 


book  of  formulas  and  this  has  been  taken  up  by  the  Board  of  Medical 
Care.  They  want  to  come  out  with  eight  simple  solutions  to  the  ris¬ 
ing  costs  of  drugs  in  the  Medical  Care  Program.  They  have  gone  so 
far  as  to  call  up  Dr.  Krantz,  who,  as  you  know,  is  a  professor  of  Phar¬ 
macology  at  the  University  School  of  Medicine,  and  he  thinks  that 
physicians  should  adhere  to  the  U.S.P.  and  N.F.  formula,  and  even 
if  they  do  not  know  the  majority  of  the  preparations  they  would  at 
least  know  5  0  or  60  of  those  preparations  in  those  books  and  this 
would  save  the  State  of  Maryland  a  lot  of  money. 

If  you  are  interested  in  these  few  items  that  the  Council  bas 
stated  has  contributed  along  with  facts,  I  shall  be  glad  to  give  them 
to  you  but  I  won’t  keep  you  much  longer. 

After  the  discussion  the  following  points  were  brought  out. 
First,  it  was  generally  thought  that  a  formula  was  impractical. 
Pharmacists  might  welcome  it  but  physicians  would  resent  it  and 
probably  would  not  use  it  to  any  extent. 

Second;  A  general  trend  towards  fewer  or  less  expensive  pre¬ 
scriptions  would  mean  more  money  to  both  physicians  and  pharma¬ 
cists. 

Third;  The  Baltimore  City  Medical  Care  Program  suffers  from 
the  same  problem  and  although  it  has  been  carefully  studied  for  sev¬ 
eral  months,  no  conclusions  have  been  reached. 

Fourth;  The  following  is  most  common  to  hospitals  and  fre¬ 
quent  discussions  with  hospital  staffs  have  produced  few  results. 

Fifth;  Frequently,  physicians  do  not  know  how  much  drugs 
cost  so  they  do  not  easily  see  the  reason  for  prescribing  the  less 
expensive  drugs. 

Sixth;  In  some  cases  the  use  of  expensive  drugs  saves  money  by 
decreasing  the  period  of  illness  and  the  necessity  of  hospitalization. 

Seventh;  There  is  a  necessity  for  a  long  range  program  of  physi¬ 
cian  education  and  this  is  not  necessarily  the  responsibility  of  the 
Council  or  the.  Bureau. 

Eighth;  There  is  no  simple  solution  to  the  problem  at  present. 
That’s  the  way  the  Council  feels  about  it  and  that  was  their  recom¬ 
mendation. 

I  might  say,  as  far  as  money  goes  we  ran  out  of  money  last  year 
and  in  the  County  program,  we  had  to  go  to  the  Governor  and  to  the 
Board  of  Public  Works  to  appropriate  sufficient  money  to  carry  the 
program  through,  without  going  to  the  Medical  Profession  to  retain 
some  of  the  fees.  The  Baltimore  City  Program  is  entirely  a  different 
setup  and  they  are  having  the  same  difficulties  that  the  State  has 
been  experiencing. 

Thank  you  very  much. 

President  Gordy:  Thank  you  Dr.  Richardson  for  your  very  fine 


talk. 


The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST 


President  Gordy:  We  will  now  have  a  report  from  Mr.  George 
M.  Schmidt  of  Elkton  on  the  -details  of  the  exempt  narcotics. 

Mr.  George  M.  Schmidt:  What  I  want  to  talk  about  is  not  a  re¬ 
vision  of  the  Narcotic  Act,  but  several  years  ago,  in  the  State  of  New 
York,  a  uniform  narcotic  Act  was  adopted  and  we  looked  around  for 
a  method  for  procuring  narcotics  which  would  not  put  a  burden  on 
the  druggists,  so  we  contacted  manufacturers,  retailers  and  they  de¬ 
cided  that  the  burden  of  reference  should  he  put  on  those  people  in¬ 
stead  of  the  druggist  so  they  would  not  have  another  report  to  fill 
out.  So  up  in  New  York,  the  druggists  simply  calls  in  his  order  or 
the  salesman  writes  up  the  order  and  the  distributor  or  the  manu¬ 
facturer,  when  he  ships  the  merchandise,  fills  out  a  duplicate  form, 
just  a  small  form  which  has  the  name  of  the  manufacturer  or  dis¬ 
tributor,  name  of  the  drug  store,  registration  number,  size  or  quan¬ 
tity  of  the  exempt  narcotic.  The  original  record  is  sent  to  the  drug 
store  with  their  invoice,  the  duplicate  is  kept  by  the  manufacturer 
and  that  is  the  end  of  the  record  keeping  as  far  as  they  are  concerned. 

Maryland,  you  know,  would  have  to  fill  out  a  form,  send  it  with 
our  order  and  we  have  to  keep  the  duplicate.  Well,  I  thought  if  it 
were  possible,  we  could  adopt  a  similar  idea  in  Maryland  and  we 
could  eliminate  writing  out  the  order  which  has  to  be  sent  in.  I 
thought  also  that  if  the  State  Department  of  Health  wanted  a  record, 
the  form  could  be  made  out  by  the  distributor  or  manufacturer  in 
triplicate.  He  could  keep  one  and  one  could  go  to  the  State  and  the 
other  to  the  druggist,  and  that  is  just  briefly  the  change  that  I  would 
like  to  see  if  it  were  possible  in  our  state  narcotic  exempt  tax.  There 
is  no  change  in  the  Act  except  the  change  in  the  procurement  and 
record  keeping. 

I  thought  I  would  like  to  present  this  at  this  time  because,  we 
have  druggists  here  and  distributors,  wholesalers  and  I  would  like 
to  get  their  comment  on  it  as  well  as  the  rest  of  the  Association. 

I  have  at  home,  copies  of  the  New  York  Law,  along  with  a  letter 
from  the  State  Department  of  Health  on  Narcotics  in  the  State  of 
New  York. 

With  that  information,  I  shall  now  turn  it  over  to  Frank  Block. 
This  is  all  I  have  to  say. 

President  Gordy:  Does  anyone  wish  to  make  any  comment? 

Mr.  Manuel  B.  Wagner:  I  would  like  to  ask  a  question  of  our 
Drug  Commissioner,  Dr.  Kantner. 

In  order  to  make  this  change,  proposed  by  Mr.  Schmidt,  which 
I  think  is  an  excellent  one,  I,  like  every  other  druggist  have  been 
confronted  quite  often  by  needing  an  exempt  narcotic  and  at  one 
time  or  another  you  don’t  even  know  that  it  is  an  exempt  narcotic, 
as  it  might  be  a  new  product  and  not  have  the  information  of  just 
what  it  contains. 


The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST

You  call  in  the  order  to1  the  wholesaler  and  we  find  out  it  is  an 
exempt  narcotic  and  you  send  in  your  order  by  mail  and  make  a  spec¬ 
ial  trip  to  the  wholesaler  in  order  to  get  it.  Now,  I  think  the  plan 
which  operates  in  New  York  (and  I  think  this  is  one  of  the  big 
states)  which  is  satisfactory  to  them  and  which,  I  am  sure,  will 
work  out  very  satisfactorily  for  us. 

I  would  like  to  know  from  Dr.  Kantner,  would  that  require  the 
Legislature  to  make  a  change  or  if  that  could  be  implemented  by  the 
Bureau  without  any  change  by  Legislature? 

Dr.  Kantner:  Our  law  definitely  states  the  methods  by  which 
exempt  narcotic  preparations  must  be  ordered.  This  law  has  been 
in  effect  in  the  state  since  19  3  6  and  as  a  whole,  throughout  the  state 
there  has  been  very  little  objection. 

I  am  not  thoroughly  acquainted  with  New  York’s  Law,  and  I  do 
not  know  what  pressure  was  brought  on  to  change  their  law  or  to  set 
up  this  system  of  ordering  exempt  narcotics.  I  do  know  this,  that 
Maryland  was  used  as  an  experimental  State  by  the  Federal  Bureau 
of  Narcotics  and  they  were  the  ones  who  proposed  our  system  of 
control  over  these  drugs.  They  went  so  far  as  to  furnish  the  money 
to  set  up  the  system  of  these  exempt  narcotic  forms.  I  can’t  see  how 
the  manufacturer  would  be  in  sympathy  with  the  method  which  has 
been  proposed  here  this  morning.  If  this  method  is  put  into  effect, 
there  will  be  no  control  whatever  that  I  can  see  over  the  sale  of 
these  drugs. 

Now,  with  you  we  check  on  exempt  narcotic  orders  every  year. 
We  go  to  the  wholesale  house,  or  we  go  to  certain  drug  stores  which 
in  the  records  of  the  wholesaler  or  manufacturers’  records,  see  what 
quantities  certain  pharmacists  have  been  using. 

I  was  in  business  longer  than  many  of  you  fellows  here  and  I 
had  to  comply  with  this  regulation  and  I  didn’t  find  it  any  hardship 
and  there  is  very  little  complaint  that  we  have  on  our  system  of  pro¬ 
curing  exempt  narcotic  preparations. 

May  I  ask  that  Mr.  Solomon  restate  his  motion  and  bring  into 
that  motion  the  following  remarks  made  by  Mr.  Schmidt,  so  that 
we  may  have  a  record  of  that  motion. 

Mr.  Simon  Solomon:  I  would  like  to  now  make  a  motion  that 
the  matter  be  referred  to  the  next  Legislative  Committee  because 
the  new  one  may  be  the  same  or  may  not  be,  depending  upon  whether 
the  chairman  will  accept  or  not.  That  it  may  refer  to  the  next  Legis¬ 
lative  Committee,  the  Chairman  will  appoint  a  sub-committee  of  the 
members  of  that  Committee  who  will  investigate  this  matter  thor¬ 
oughly  and  if  necessary,  go  up  to  New  York  and  talk  with  Mr.  Ge- 
soalde  and  get  details  and  report  back  to  the  next  Regional  Conven¬ 
tion  and  then  we  will  act  one  way  or  the  other.

President  Gordy:  You  have  heard  the  motion  by  Mr.  Solomon 
that  this  matter  be  referred  to  the  Legislative  Committee,  who  will 
get  full  details.  Motion  carried. 

We  now  have  a  communication  which  your  Secretary  will  read: 

Mr.  Melville  Strasburger:  We  have  a  telegram  from  Mr.  John 
W.  DarGavel,  Secretary  of  the  N.A.R.D.  which  reads  as  follows:

Mr.  Waples:  Now,  we  have  a  few  more  members  that  we  want 
to  get  out  of  the  way.  Report  of  the  Auditing  Committee,  Paul  Gaver, 
Chairman,  to  be  given  by  Mr.  Bernard  Shure. 

Mr.  Bernard  Shure:  Mr.  Chairman  and  Members  of  the  Mary¬ 
land  Pharmaceutical  Association,  it  took  me  longer  to  walk  up  here 
than  it  did  to  make  the  report. 

On  June  12th,  Chairman  Paul  Gaver,  Mr.  Jack  Parks  and  my¬ 
self  met,  examined  the  books  of  Treasurer  Wannenwesch  and  found 
them  in  order.  In  other  words,  we  could  find  nothing  wrong  with 
the  finances  of  the  Association.  They  are  in  good  shape. 

Thank  you. 

Mr.  Waples:  You  have  heard  the  report.  What  is  your  pleasure? 
In  the  absence  of  any  negative  votes  we  will  accept  the.  report  of  Mr. 
Bernard  Shure. 

The  next  report  we  will  hear  will  be  that  of  the  Committee  on 
“Experience  required  in  Drug  Stores” — Mr. Max  Zervitz,  Chairman. 

REPORT  OF  THE  COMMITTEE  TO  STUDY  DRUG  STORE 
EXPERIENCE  REQUIRED 

Max  M.  Zervitz,  Chairman 

At  the  M.Ph.  Assn.  Convention  held  in  Baltimore  in  1950,  the 
Committee  recommended  the  following  changes  to  the  Pharmaceu¬ 
tical  Body: 


T he  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST 


47 


1.  That  3  months  of  the  years  practical  experience  required  of 
a  graduate  shall  be  obtained  under  supervision  of  the  Board  of  Phar¬ 
macy,  and  that  longer  periods  of  supervised  experience,  up  to  one 
year,  in  keeping  with  the  National  Trend,  or  with  a  possible  5  year 
course  if  such  become  a  reality,  may  be  required  at  the  discretion  of 
the  Maryland  Board  of  Pharmacy.  In  any  event,  this  shall  not  be 
over  one  year  of  supervised  experience. 

2.  This  experience  is  to  be  obtained  in  drug  stores  approved 
by  the  Maryland  Board  of  Pharmacy,  and  the  said  Board  shall  have 
the  power  to  make  regulations  for  approved  stores.  The  stores  so 
selected  will  be  those  which  fill  a  minimum  of  prescriptions,  are  kept 
in  a  clean  condition,  and  the  expressed  willingness  to  teach  applicant. 
These  approvals  to  be  given  after  a  check  by  the  members  of  the 
Board  of  Pharmacy. 

3.  That  records  be  kept  by  the  students  and  checked  by  the 
pharmacist  in  charge.  Moreover,  this  period  of  supervised  exper¬ 
ience  must  be  obtained  at  any  time  after  the  students  third  year  in 
school,  and  at  which  time  he  will  have  successfully  completed  his 
course  in  dispensing  pharmacy. 

These  regulations  and  changes  in  the  present  law  were  submitted 
in  writing  to  each  drug  store  owner  in  the  State  of  Maryland.  The 
committee  received  33  written  replies  and  numerous  phone  call 
answers.  Of  the  33  letters  received,  20  accepted  the  changes  as  is; 
10  recommended  modifications,  and  2  opposed  these  as  a  whole. 

The  Committee  met  in  conjunction  with  the  legislative  body  at 
the  home  of  Frank  Block,  and  discussed  these  letters  on  Feb.  1,  1951. 
After  much  discussion,  your  Committee  recommends  that  no  radical 
changes  be  attempted  in  the  present  law  at  this  time  for  the  follow¬ 
ing  reasons: 

1.  The  Korean  situation  at  present  curtails  our  pharmacy  can¬ 
didates,  and  our  pharmacy  apprentices;  thus,  the  above  recommen¬ 
dations  would  work  a  hardship  on  our  drug  stores. 

2.  Any  of  the  above  changes  in  our  present  law,  would  neces¬ 
sarily  affect  applicants  from  out  of  our  state  requiring  reciprocal 
registration  in  Maryland.  This  could  cause  reciprocity  complications 
on  our  pharmacists  who  would  then  wish  to  acquire  reciprocal  regis¬ 
tration  in  other  states. 

The  Committee  further  recommends  that  the  problem  be  studied 
further,  and  that  we  keep  our  regulations  in  line  with  the  National, 
Trend,  thus  making  changes  when  it  is  in  keeping  with  National 
Trend. 

Committee:  Walter  E.  Albrecht,  Carleton  W.  Hanks,  GordofW

Mr.  Waples:  In  the  absence  of  any  negative  votes,  we  will  ac¬ 
cept  the  report  of  Mr.  Max  Zervitz. 

Mr.  Waples:  Gentlemen,  we  have  a  request  here  from  our  friend 
Mr.  Henry  Golditch  who  is  very  anxious  to  get  this  Vigilance  Com¬ 
mittee  Report  off  his  chest.  He  would  like  to  give  it  this  morning. 

REPORT  OF-'  VIGILANCE  COMMITTEE 
Henry  Golditch,  Chairman 

Your  Vigilance  Committee,  which  serves  both  the  State  and  City 
associations  have  had,  what  we  consider,  a  very  successful  year.  We 
measure  our  success  on  the  number  of  violators  we  have  to  “straight¬ 
en”  out,  and  we  are  quite  happy  to  report  that  the  number  falling 
into  this  category  during  the  past  year  have  been  very  few.  It  has 
been  very  heartening  to  us,  that  the  number  of  complaints  are  slowly 
dwindeling  down  and  that  our  work  can  now  take  on  new  aspects 
viz:  education  and  publicity.  Certain  members  of  the  Vigilance  Com¬ 
mittee  have  made  advance  trips  into  the  Western  and  Eastern  parts 
of  the  State  and  we  were  very  much  gratified  by  their  inability  to 
purchase  legend  or  caution  drugs. 

As  chairman  of  this  Committee,  I  state  with  pride  that  I  con¬ 
sider  Maryland  one  of  the  cleanest,  if  not  the  cleanest  State  insofar 
as  the  handling  of  legend  drugs  are  concerned.  However,  we  retail 
druggists  are  closely  watching  national  trends  and  especially  the 
Durham-Humphrey  Bill  which  we  feel  will  play  an  important  part 
as  to  the  future  of  our  profession.  Perhaps  in  discussing  the  prescrip¬ 
tion  legend  problem  over  which  the  leaders  of  the  A.Ph.A.  and 
N.A.R.D.  are  unable  to  agree,  I  am  stepping  on  ground  where  even 
“angels  fear  to  tread”.  However,  I  feel  that  if  the  Vigilance  Com¬ 
mittee  is  to  carry  out  its  assignment  effectively,  then  it  must  be  in 
a  position  to  base  its  decisions  on  the  regulations  established  by  the 
Food  &  Drug  Administration  even  though  one  might  not  agree  with 
the  F.D.A.’s  interpretation  of  the  law.  For  example,  it  has  been 
called  to  the  attention  of  our  Committee  that  some  manufacturers 
contend  a  prescription  legend  drug,  if  it  is  not  a  dangerous  drug 
viz:  barbiurates,  thyroids,  amphetamines,  etc.,  can  be  sold  over  the 
counter  without  a  prescription,  if  it  is  dispensed  under  the  label  of 
the  retail  pharmacist  with  adequate  directions.  On  the  other^hand, 
the  F.D.A.  insists  that  NO  drug — the  label  of  which  bears  the  cau¬ 
tion: — “To  be  dispensed  only  by  or  on  the  prescription  of  a  physi¬ 
cian”  can  be  dispensed  over  the  counter  under  any  circumstances, 
except  on  a  prescription. 

This  brings  me  to  the  controversy  now  being  carried  on  between 
the  N.A.R.D.  and  the  A.Ph.A.  relative  to  the  Durham-Humphrey  Bill. 

I  am  NOT  advocating  the  enactment  of  the  bill  as  it  now  stands, 
but  I  cannot  conceive  why  these  groups  are  unable  to  get  together 


The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST 


Jf9 

and  amend  this  proposed  bill  in  such  a  way  as  to  meet  fully  and  satis¬ 
factorily  all  problems  arising  under  the  refill  and  prescription  legend 
sections  without  giving  the  Food  and  Drug  Administration  “LIFE 
OR  DEATH  CONTROL”  over  the  drug  industry. 

It  is  very  apparent  that  the  most  serious  objection  to  the  Dur- 
ham-Humphrey  Bill  is  that  it  delegates  authority  to  the  F.D.A.  to 
make  the  decision  whether  a  medicinal  should  be  sold  on  a  prescrip¬ 
tion.  The  authority  now  rests  with  the  manufacturer  who  produces 
the  drug,  and  if  in  his  opinion  he  feels  that  the  drug  is  too  dangerous 
for  use  without  medical  supervision,  he  labels  it  with  the  prescrip¬ 
tion  legend.  Unfortunately,  under  the  present  regulations,  manufac¬ 
turers  are  allowed  to  place  the  legend  on  drugs  of  every  class.  As  I 
see  it,  a  procedure  should  be  adopted  that  would  greatly  reduce  the 
number  of  restricted  drugs,  because  many  remedies  carry  the  legend 
— though  they  are  safe  to  sell  over  the  counter.  This  is  what  places 
the  Vigilance  Committee  in  such  an  embarrassing  position,  because 
some  of  the  retail  pharmacists  who  have  been  asked  to  appear  before 
our  Committee  cannot  understand  why  they  should  not  be  permitted 
to  sell  perfectly  harmless  drugs  over  the  counter  without  a  prescrip¬ 
tion  even  though  the  label  of  the  manufacturer  has  on  it  the  Caution 
legend.  Our  only  answer  is  that  until  the  law  is  clarified  the  Com¬ 
mittee  has  no  other  alternative  than  to  insist  that  the  law  relative 
to  legend  drugs  be  complied  with. 

I  am  willing  to  concede,  to  a  great  extent,  the  justice  of  the 
opposition  by  the  opponents  of  this  bill;  because,  if  enacted  as  it 
now  stands,  it  would  give  the  government  authority  to  limit  to  pre¬ 
scriptions  all  drugs  it  declares  to  be  inefficient  and  therefore  could 
sweep  from  the  drug  store  the  great  majority  of  the  drugs  and  medi¬ 
cines  now  on  hand.  I  am  inclined  to  believe  that  by  eliminating  the 
word  “efficient”  from  the  bill  would  go  a  long  way  in  making  it  more 
acceptable  to  the  opposition.  But  whatever  happens,  the  burden 
should  be  imposed  upon  the  manufacturer  to  require  him  to  limit 
the  prescription  legend  to  those  drugs  which  can  only  be  safely  used 
under  competent  medical  direction. 

The  question  is:  How  can  the  Committee  reprimand  a  retail 
pharmacist  who  dispenses  Calcium  Lactate  (which  has  the  prescrip¬ 
tion  legend  on  the  label)  over  the  counter  without  a  prescription 
when  he  is  permitted  to  dispense  such  potent  drugs  as  Tr.  Bella- 
donnae,  Tr.  Hyoscyamus,  Tr.  Nux  Vomica  (on  whose  labels  appears 
no  prescription  legend)  over  the  counter?  Furthermore,  if  you  will 
look  over  your  prescription  stock  it  will  amaze  you  how  many  labels 
bearing  the  legend  are  ordinarily  “over  the  counter”  preparations. 

Why  not  end  this  confusion  which  is  placing  the  burden  directly 
upon  the  shoulders  of  the  poor  little  retail  pharmacist?  If  the  manu¬ 
facturer  wants  the  perogative  of  determining  which  drugs  should 
have  the  caution  legend  then  he  should  make  every  effort  to  see  that 


50 


The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST 


the  Durham-Humphrey  Bill  is  amended  so  as  to  give  the  retail  phar¬ 
macist  the  protection  to  which  he  is  rightfully  entitled.  It  is  the 
duty  of  the  manufacturer  to  assure  the  retail  pharmacist  that  every 
product  that  bears  the  prescription  legend  on  the  label  is  absolutely 
unsafe  and  therefore  cannot  be  used  effectively  without  a  doctor’s 
prescription. 

It  is  my  guess,  that  if  this  matter  is  not  corrected  by  the  phar¬ 
maceutical  industry;  then  the  medical  profession,  like  it  or  not,  will 
step  into  the  picture  and  put  its  weight  on  the  side  of  the  F.D.A. 
I  say  this,  because  the  Council  on  Pharmacy  and  Chemistry  of  the 
A.M.A.  has  already  suggested  that  the  medical  and  pharmacy  pro¬ 
fession  might  get  together  on  an  amendment  to  the  Durham- 
Humphrey  Bill  which  would  provide  definite  FEDERAL  CONTROL 
over  refills  of  prescriptions  calling  for  proprietary  medicines.  It  is 
therefore  easy  to  see  that  they  could  also  advocate  FEDERAL  CON¬ 
TROL  over  prescription  legend  products.  My  observation  has  been, 
that  the  medical  profession  is  on  our  side  only  when  they  are  in 
distress,  as  in  the  case  of  socialized  medicine,  the  anti-vivisection 
bill,  etc. 

I  wish  at  this  time  also  to  make  it  very  plain  that  I  am  also 
opposed  to  relying  upon  the  Administrator  of  the  Food  and  Drug 
Administration  to  issue  a  valid  regulation  governing  the  refill  of 
prescriptions.  I  am  also  UNALTERABLY  opposed  to  giving  the 
F.D.A.  the  power  to  have  control  over  which  drugs  should  be  limited 
to  prescriptions  and  likewise  to  limit  the  so-called  ineffective  drugs. 

Somewhere,  somehow,  there  should  be  a  happy  medium;  and, 
unless  the  situation  is  corrected  immediately  and  a  compromise  is 
effected  between  our  parent  associations  so  that  we  can  FIGHT 
TOGETHER  and  NOT  SEPARATELY,  then  not  only  will  the  F.D.A. 
take  over,  but  the  retail  pharmacists  of  this  country  will  soon  lose 
patience  with  those  leaders  whom  they  look  upon  to  guide  them  out 
of  the  wilderness. 

Thank  you,  and  good  afternoon. 

Mr.  Gordy:  We  have  with  us  this  morning,  President  J.  Wm. 
Gehring  of  the  T.A.M.P.A.  who  wishes  to  make  a  short  talk. 

Mr.  Gehring:  I  am  sorry  I  did  not  know  this  earlier  but  I 
understand  that  it  is  customary  for  the  President  of  the  Auxiliary 
to  extend  greetings  to  the  Members  of  the  Maryland  Pharmaceutical 
Association,  their  wives,  their  sweethearts  and  guests  of  the  Conven¬ 
tion  and  to  assure  you  all  that  the  Auxiliary  is  taking  care  of  the 
entertaining  and  are  doing  their  best  to  make  it  happy  for  you  all 
w'hile  here  at  the  Convention. 

We  have  planned,  and  if  you  see  it  on  the  program  it  is  true, 
this  afternoon  for  the  ladies,  a  card  party  which  unfortunately,  is  in 


The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST 


51 


the  program  for  tomorrow  afternoon  but  it  is  this  afternoon  and  we 
start  about  2:30  so  if  any  of  the  ladies  have  any  questions  about  it, 
please  explain  it  to  them  that  it  will  be  this  afternoon  and  tonight 
there  is  to  be  a  show  followed  by  a  dance. 

Tomorrow,  nothing  has  been  scheduled  particularly  for  the 
ladies,  because  they  will  probably  have  their  meeting  and  lunch 
around  noontime,  but  if  any  of  the  ladies  want  to  play  cards  or  any 
other  activity  they  would  like  to  participate  in,  if  they  will  consult 
the  Auxiliary  we  will  certainly  try  to  arrange  any  pleasure  for  them. 

Tonight,  as  you  know  will  be  the  banquet  and  following  the 
banquet  will  be  the  dance  and  we  hope  that  you  will  enjoy  your¬ 
selves  from  an  entertaining  standpoint. 

Thank  you  very  much. 

Mr.  Waples:  Mr.  Luther  Dawson  wants  to  say  a  few  words  to 
help  clarify  the  Druggists’  position  on  some  of  the  matters  of 
legislation. 

Mr.  Luther  Dawson:  Ladies,  Druggists,  Friends,  as  Vice  Presi¬ 
dent  of  the  Drug  Exchange,  I  do  not  like  to  have  you  leave  here 
with  the  wrong  impression. 

The  Drug  Exchange  is  always  wholeheartedly  behind  any¬ 
thing  pertaining  to  the  druggists.  The  only  reason  that  we  were 
neutral — I  had  to  be  on  that  Committee.  On  the  charge  in  the  Health 
Department,  I  want  Dr.  Kantner  to  pay  strict  attention  to  this, — we 
would  have  been  wholeheartedly  in  that  if  we  thought  we  would 
always  have  men  with  a  broad  vision  as  Dr.  Kantner — as  long  as 
he  is  in  there  he  would  have  found  us  going  on  record  doing  about 
100%. 

The  only  reason  we  tried  to  stay  neutral  on  that  particular 
occasion  was  that  we  thought,  suddenly  something  would  happen  that 
Dr.  Kantner — about  he  getting  a  man  without  a  broad  vision, 
anything  could  happen  and  I  believe  you  will  agree. 

I  just  wanted  to  clarify  that  the  Drug  Exchange  is  100% 
with  the  druggists.  Anyone  with  any  doubt  about  this  can  go  out 
with  a  list  in  the  druggist  division  as  to  our  activities. 

Mr.  Waples:  Thank  you  Mr.  Dawson.  I  think  this  is  all  for  this 
matter.  I  have  an  announcement  here  from  one  of  the  Baltimore 
Retail  Druggist  Association’s  officers  of  the  Executive  Committee  that 
they  will  have  a  meeting  shortly  after  the  adjournment  of  this 
meeting.

THIRD  SESSION 

Wednesday,  June  20 

In  the  absence  of  President  Gordy,  Vice  President  Waples 
presiding. 

Mr.  Waples:  We  will  now  have  a  committee  report  on  Public 
Relations  by  Charles  S.  Austin,  Jr. 

Mr.  Charles  S.  Austin,  Jr.:  Mr.  Waples,  members  of  the  Mary¬ 
land  Pharmaceutical  Association,  Ladies  and  Gentlemen,  this  report 
of  mine  is  generally  about  the  same. 

REPORT  OF  THE  COMMITTEE  ON  PUBLIC  RELATIONS 
Charles  S.  Austin,  Jr.,  Chairman 

At  the  outset  of  this  report,  the  Committee  wishes  to  express 
its  firm  conviction  that  each  of  us  represents  pharmacy  in  our  neigh¬ 
borhoods.  It  is  our  drug  stores  which  interpret  pharmacy  to  the  pub¬ 
lic  and  which  plays  a  vital  part  in  the  reactions  of  the  public  to  the 
services  which  the  drug  store  renders. 

In  all  discussions  of  public  relations  in  which  pharmacy  is  con¬ 
cerned,  it  should  be  emphasized  that  pharmacy  as  a  professional 
pursuit  rises  or  falls  in  direct  response  to  the  impact  which  you  and 
your  drug  stores  have  upon  your  neighborhood. 

In  other  words,  every  pharmacist  is  burdened  with  the  indi¬ 
vidual  obligation  and  responsibility  to  so  conduct  his  pharmacy  in 
all  details  so  as  to  give  our  profession  a  higher  standing  in  the  estima¬ 
tion  of  the  public.  This  thought  should  be  kept  in  mind,  as  it  con¬ 
stitutes  the  basic  concept  upon  which  this  report  is  based. 

Our  stores  should  be  arranged  so  as  to  call  attention  to  the 
professional  health  services  which  we,  as  pharmacists  render.  Dr. 
Swain  has  stated  time  and  again  that  retail  pharmacy  has  four  basic 
resources,  and  that  the  acceptance  of  the  public  of  pharmacy  as  a 
public  health  pursuit,  is  directly  related  to  how  effectively  these  four 
basic  resources  are  developed  and  utilized  in  retail  drug  stores. 

These  basic  resources  are:  (1),  the  prescription  department; 
(2),  a  department  given  over  to  prescription  accessories  which  go 
hand  in  hand  with  prescription  medication;  (3),  the  department  of 
drugs,  medicines,  sick  room  needs,  first  aid  supplies,  and  other  closely 
related  items;  (4)  the  personalized  and  individual  relationship  which 
the  pharmacist  occupies  with  the  public  and  which  is  manifested 
in  the  every  day  operation  of  his  drug  store. 

It  can  be  seen  at  once  that  these  four  basic  resources  play  a 
controlling  part  in  the  reaction  of  the  public  toward  drug  stores. 
The  Committee  feels  that  pharmacy’s  relations  with  the  public  would 
be  all  that  we  desired  them  to  be  if  in  every  drug  store  of  the  state 


The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST 


53 


these  four  basic  resources  were  so  utilized  as  to  focus  public  attention 
upon  the  fundamental  health  services  which  the  drug  store  renders. 

Indeed,  it  can  be  said  that  in  every  drug  store  in  which  these 
basic  resources  are  misused,  abused,  or  given  an  obscure  part  in  the 
operation  of  the  drug  store,  pharmacy  suffers  in  its  public  standing 
simply  because  the  drug  store  itself  has  failed  to  live  up  to  accepted 
standards  of  professional  service. 

Indeed,  so  important  is  this  matter  of  impressions  that  the 
Committee  urges  pharmacists  to  take  a  critical  look  at  their  drug 
stores  for  the  purpose  of  ascertaining  just  how  well  they  are  serving 
pharmacy’s  public  relations. 

The  pharmacist  should  ask  himself  these  questions:  “Does  my 
drug  store  exemplify  those  professional  attributes  inherent  in  a  true 
health  care  profession?  Does  it  indicate  that  the  store  is  conducted 
in  compliance  with  good  professional  standards?  Does  the  over-all 
appearance  of  the  store  tend  to  make  a  good  impression  upon  the 
public?  Is  mine  the  kind  of  a  drug  store  which  I  am  qualified  to 
conduct  as  a  professionally  trained  man?’’ 

Many  other  questions  will  occur  to  you,  if  you  make  a  sincere 
attempt  to  see  your  drug  store  as  others  see  it.  Remember,  you 
might  as  well  ask  these  questions  of  yourself,  because  the  standing 
of  your  drug  store  with  your  neighborhood  depends  almost  entirely 
upon  the  answers  which  these  questions  suggest. 

Not  only  does  your  store’s  appearance  have  a  very  decided 
impact  upon  pharmacy’s  public  relations,  but  the  same  thing  must 
be  said  with  respect  to  your  personnel  and  salespeople.  Here,  not 
only  is  courtesy  a  good  customer  relations’  need,  but  their  demeanor 
should  be  consistent  with  the  health  services  which  the  store  renders. 
Each  employee  and  salesperson  should  be  clean  in  appearance,  well 
groomed,  and  neatly  attired.  By  this  I  mean  that  there  is  no  place 
for  soiled  jackets  or  other  indications  of  sloppy  personal  habits. 

Every  pharmacist  is  fully  aware  of  the  significance  of  these 
comments,  but  they  are  not  always  as  astute  as  they  might  be  in 
having  these  personal  habits  observed  by  their  salespeople  and 
employees.  Remember,  everything  about  the  store  contributes  to  the 
store’s  appearance,  and  appearances,  as  we  have  seen,  play  a  vital 
role  in  pharmacy’s  public  relations. 

The  main  purpose  of  this  report  is  twofold:  (1),  to  express 
the  conviction  that  it  is  vitally  important  for  pharmacy  to  have 
proper  relations  with  the  public,  as  the  recognition  given  to  it  as 
a  profession  and  as  a  worth  while  pursuit  is  the  direct  result  of  the 
impressions  which  the  drug  stores  create  upon  the  neighborhood;  and 
(2),  to  emphasize  that  the  pharmacist  in  his  individual  capacity  plays 
a  most  fundamental  role  in  those  events,  activities  and  impressions 
upon  which  proper  relations  with  the  public  depend. 


T  he  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST 


As  a  matter  of  fact,  pharmacy’s  public  relations  are  determinad 
very  largely  indeed  by  how  well  the  individual  pharmacist  meets  his 
professional  obligations,  and  discharges  the  responsibilities  which 
attach  to  him  as  a  member  of  an  important  health  care  profession. 

Mr.  Waples:  Thank  you  Mr.  Austin  for  a  very  fine  address.  I  am 
sure  most  of  us  got  something  out  of  that  which  should  help  us  in  the 
operation  of  our  drug  store. 

In  the  absence  of  any  negative  votes,  we  will  accept  that  report. 

Mr.  Waples:  Now,  the  next  address  we  have  here  is  by  Mr.  Irving 
M.  Morris,  Chief  Pharmacist  of  the  Union  Memorial  Hospital,  who 
has  something  to  read  at  the  request  of  Dr.Kantner. 

Mr.  Irving  M.  Morris:  Ladies  and  Gentlemen,  as  Chief  Pharmacist 
of  the  Union  Memorial  Hospital,  we  have  had  several  complaints  from 
the  numerous  retail  drug  stores  and  in  our  vicinity  as  well  as  all 
through  the  city,  that  the  hospital  pharmacists  were  selling  to  the 
public. 

I  have  been  in  contact  with  the  majority  of  the  hospital  phar¬ 
macists  throughout  the  city  and  those  to  whom  I  have  spoken  deny 
the  fact  that  sales  are  made  only  to  the  patients,  doctors  and 
employees  of  the  hospital.  Those  who  have  been  clinic  patients 
tire  of  waiting  and  go  to  an  outside  pharmacy  to  have  their  prescrip¬ 
tions  filled  and  are  charged  three  or  four  times  the  price  that  we 
do  as  we  charge  some  nominal  fees  and  the  complaints  got  so  that 
I  have  this  little  notice  which  I  would  like  to  read  to  you,  from  all 
the  hospital  pharmacists  in  the  city. 

Mr.  Chairman,  Mr.  President  and  Members  of  the  Maryland 
Pharmaceutical  Association. 

There  are  rumors  and  claims  that  medicines  can  be  purchased 
much  cheaper  from  the  Hospital  Pharmacies  than  from  the  retail 
Drug  Stores  and  I  would  like  now  to  deny  these  claims,  for  myself 
and  all  other  Hospital  Pharmacies  in  our  city.  We  purchase  most 
drugs,  chemicals  and  pharmaceuticals  direct  from  the  manufacturer 
at  quantity  prices  and  without  exception  no  person  at  any  time 
except  employees  of  the  hospitals  and  patients  confined  to  the  hos¬ 
pital  can  purchase  any  medications  from  the  Hospital  Pharmacy. 

If  a  patient  has  left  the  hospital  and  wants  renewal  of  medicine, 
he  must  purchase  same  at  his  drug  store,  as  we  do  not  furnish  anyone 
with  medicines  after  leaving  the  hospital.  All  clinic  patients  also 
are  eligible  to  purchase  medicines,  but  only  on  a  Rx  from  clinic 
physicians.  We,  as  hospital  pharmacists,  are  really  disturbed  about 
these  untruthful  claims  and  hope  the  Maryland  Pharmaceutical 
Association  will,  in  their  usual  courteous  manner,  explain  to  our 
fellow  retail  pharmacists  our  attitude.

Mr.  Waples:  We  will  now  have  the  pleasure  of  listening  to  an 
address  by  Dr.  Robert  P.  Fischelis,  Executive  ecretary  of  the  A.  Ph.  A. 

ADDRESS 

Dr.  Robert  P.  Fischelis,  Executive  Secretary,  A.  Ph.  A. 

Mr.  President  and  members  of  the  Maryland  Pharmaceutical 
Association,  first  let  me  bring  you  the  greetings  of  President  Gregg 
and  Council  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association,  who  wish 
you  a  most  successful  Convention  which  I  see  you  are  having  and  I 
also  want  to  extend  on  behalf  of  the  council  an  invitation  to  all  of 
you  to  attend  our  Convention  in  Buffalo  the  last  week  of  August.  As 
you  know,  we  meet  with  the  entire  group  of  associated,  their  related 
organizations,  so  regardless  of  what  your  interest  may  be,  whether 
it  is  manufacturing,  wholesaling  or  retailing,  teaching,  board  work, 
hospital  pharmacy,  you  will  have  something  of  interest  there  and  it 
is  hardly  necessary  for  me  to  tell  you  people  in  Maryland  what  an 
A.  Ph.  A.  Convention  is  like  as  a  good  many  of  you  come  to  them 
anyway. 

I  want  to  talk  to  you  today  about  a  number  of  matters  growing 
out  of  the  position  in  which  pharmacy  finds  itself  with  relation  to 
world  affairs  in  general  and  with  relation  to  other  professions,  with 
relation  to  the  people  in  the  community  that  you  serve.  It  is  very 
difficult  at  times  to  find  the  right  words  to  express  our  views  on  some 
things  and  sometimes  differences  of  opinions  are  caused  by  inade¬ 
quate  choice  of  words. 

Sometime  ago,  Justice  Holmes,  when  he  was  still  on  the  Supreme 
Bench,  said,  “a  word  is  not  a  crystal  transparent  and  unchanging — 
a  word  is  the  skin  of  a  living  thought  and  may  vary  greatly  in  color 
and  contents  according  to  the  circumstances  and  the  times  in  which 
it  is  used.”  I  introduce  what  I  have  to  say  with  that  definition  be¬ 
cause  I  am  also  going  to  define  the  term  “Drug”  in  two  ways. 

First,  in  terms  in  which  the  scientist  sees  that  word  and  secondly 
in  terms  in  which  the  lawyer  sees  it  and  I  want  you  to  please  note 
the  difference  because  on  that  hangs  a  considerable  story.  The 
scientists  says  that  a  drug  is  any  chemical  agent  which  affects  living 
protoplasm.  Now,  that  makes  people  who  deal  in  drugs  and  produce 
drugs,  who  dispense  drugs — persons  who  have  a  wide  range  of 
knowledge,  a  very  extensive  education  and  a  comprehension  of  life 
in  general  and  living  things  in  general. 

The  lawyer  who  is  largely  engaged  in  definitions  for  the  pur¬ 
pose  of  enforcement  and  to  aid  in  policing  a  certain  situation,  he 
takes  a  much  more  lengthly  series  of  words  and  sentences  to  make 
his  definition  because  he  says  that  the  term  “Drug”  means  articles 
recognized  in  the  official  United  States  Pharmacopeia,  National 
Formulary,  Homeopathic  Pharmacopeia,  any  supplements  thereof  or 


56 


The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST 


articles  intended  for  use  in  the  diagnosis  cure  of  mitigation  in  the 
treatment  or  prevention  of  disease  in  man  or  animals  and  articles 
other  than  food  intended  to  affect  the  structure  of  any  or  the  func¬ 
tion  of  the  body  of  man  or  animals  and  articles  intended  for  use  as 
a  component  of  any  article  specified  in  the  foregoing  but  does  not 
include  license  or  their  component  or  accessories. 

The  difference  between  those  two  ways  of  defining  Drug  gives 
us  pretty  much  the  difference  in  attitude  on  the  parts  of  those  who 
are  pharmacists  in  the  professional  sense  of  the  word  and  those  who 
are  pharmacists  merely  in  the  sense  of  giving  a  service  as  an  inter¬ 
mediary  between  a  producer  and  a  consumer. 

Now,  we  think  in  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  that 
the  former  is  much  more  nearer  the  type  of  activity  that  pharmasists 
are  engaged  in  than  the  latter  and  we  think  that  we  need  to  gear 
our  educational  program,  our  services  to  the  public,  our  relations 
to  other  professions  to  the  broad  definition  that  encompasses  the 
function  that  we  carry  out  and  in  order  to  do  that  we  feel  that  it  is 
also  important  for  people  to  do  their  own  thinking.  We  would  not 
think  of  sending  telegrams  or  letters  to  members  of  our  Association 
and  say,  “Send  such  and  such  a  message  to  this  or  that — the  con¬ 
gressman  and  ask  him  to  vote  for  this  and  that  bill”  without  being 
sure  that  our  own  members  knew  just  what  type  of  legislation  we 
were  asking  them  to  ask  Congress  to  vote  for  and  unless  it  was 
understood  by  them  and  Senator  Margaret  Smith  of  Maine  who  is 
a  very  distinguished  person  in  the  Senate  of  the  United  States  re¬ 
cently  said  that  too  few  people  in  this  country  realize  that  too  many 
citizens  are  departing  their  thinking  to  Demigods  and  that  we  are 
closer  to  surrendering  our  freedom  than  most  of  us  are  willing  to 
recognize  or  admit. 

When  we  accept  the  statements  and  proposals  of  Demigods 
because  we  are  too  lazy  to  think  and  test  their  statements  and  pro¬ 
posals,  we  can  blame  no  one  but  ourselves  for  such  events.  The  first 
sign  of  deterioration  and  a  democracy  is  a  tendency  to  look  to  others 
to  do  our  thinking  and  the  first  essential  to  straight  thinking  is  open- 
mindedness.  We  must  take  time  to  find  out  the  truth  for  ourselves 
and  anything  in  which  we  are  interested.  Too  many  pharmacists 
have  lost  the  desire  to  search  out  the  truth.  It  is  so  easy  to  follow 
what  somebody  else  does  or  thinks  and  mind  you — just  contem¬ 
plating  your  prejudices  and  re-arranging  them  is  not  thinking. 
Imagine  your  mind  is  a  court  where  all  things  must  be  proven  to 
your  satisfaction.  In  a  court,  both  sides  have  to  be  heard  and  the 
law  of  applicable  with  problems  are  explained.  Don’t  be  afraid  to 
think — please  have  confidence  in  your  own  mind.  You  will  find  the 
matters  difficult  for  you  to  think  through  are  also  difficult  for  others. 
When  you  match  your  thinking  with  that  of  others,  you  are  on  the

way  to  collect  your  solution  to  your  problems  if  that  is  your  pro¬ 
fession.  That  is  what  Associations  and  meetings  are  for. 

The  President  of  the  United  States  sometime  ago  appointed  a 
Commissioner  on  higher  education  and  asked  them  to  survey  the 
entire  educational  program  and  to  bring  in  some  recommendations 
and  that  Commissioner  brought  in  this  very  significant  recommenda¬ 
tion  or  rather  observation. 

They  said  that  within  ten  years  the  end  of  education  of  the 
average  boy  and  girl  will  not  be  the  high  school  but  the  junior  col¬ 
lege.  That  means  that  the  boys  and  girls  who  are  fit  to  take  an  educa¬ 
tion  are  not  going  to  be  satisfied  or  are  we  going  to  be  satisfied,  to 
have  them  finish  up  with  merely  a  high  school  education  but  the 
public  education  for  them  is  going  to  continue  for  two  years  on  the 
college  level.  Now,  what  does  that  mean  to  us  as  practitioners  of 
pharmacy  and  to  us  as  educators  or  to  us  as  law  enforcement 
officials? 

It  simply  means  that  within  ten  years  the  pharmacist  on  Main 
Street  in  the  small  towns  is  going  to  be  working  along  side  of  groups 
of  merchants  in  various  fields  who  have  had  an  education  that  comes 
up  to  the  junior  college  level  and  from  there  on  if  he  is  G.I.  or  if 
he  has  had  the  opportunity  for  college  education,  he  will  have  a 
four  year  course  of  business  education.  I  ask  you  what  is  the 
difference  between  preparing  our  pharmacy  students  with  a  sufficient 
fundamental  education,  equivalent  to  two  years  of  college  work  or 
the  junior  college  and  then  giving  them  the  four  year  pharmacy 
program  which  they  get  now?  There  is  no  difference  and  it  just 
means  that  we  are  keeping  pace  with  the  progress  of  the  times  as 
far  as  public  education  is  concerned,  when  we  are  talking  about  a 
better  fundamental  preparation  for  the  course  in  pharmacy  and 
when  you  hear  people  talking  about  five  and  six  year  courses,  dismiss 
that  from  your  mind  as  something  that  is  advocating  a  five  or  six 
year  in  pharmacy — it’s  doing  nothing  of  the  kind,  it  is  simply  advo¬ 
cating  a  fundamental  training  so  that  you  will  match  the  pharma¬ 
cist’s  general  education  with  that  of  his  other  people  in  the  com¬ 
munity  that  he  serves  and  the  people  that  he  works  with,  to  say 
nothing  of  course,  about  the  medical  and  dental  professions  which 
have  already  gone  to  a  pre-professional  program  long  ago. 

Now,  what  is  this  higher  education  for?  This  is  what  the 
President’s  Commissioner  pointed  out,  that  it  was  necessary  and  was 
the  right  of  the  young  men  and  women  who  are  coming  along  in  this 
generation — he  said  that  the  object  of  this  education  and  training 
is  to  develop  for  the  regulation  of  one’s  personal  and  civic  right — a 
code  of  behavior  based  on  ethical  principles  persistent  with  demo¬ 
cratic  ideas.  In  other  words,  it  is  nothing,  only  the  professional 
people  who  are  going  to  be  top-heavy.  The  average  citizen  is  going 
to  know  something  about  medical  and  pharmaceutical  ethics  and 


58 


The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST 


legal  ethics  just  as  much  as  the  people  who  are  in  the  profession 
and  they  are  going  to  expect .  a  certain  kind  of  treatment  and  a 
certain  kind  of  conduct  on  the  part  of  those  who  are  in  the  pro¬ 
fession. 

2.  To  particpate  activity  as  an  informed  and  responsible  citizen 
in  solving  the  social  and  economic  and  political  problem  of  one’s 
community,  state  and  nation. 

3.  To  recognize  the  dependence  of  the  different  peoples  of  the 
world  and  one’s  personal  responsibility  for  fostering  under  inter¬ 
national  understanding  and  peace. 

4.  To  understand  the  common  phenomenon  in  one’s  physical 
environment. 

4.  To  apply  habits  of  scientific  thought  to  both  personal  and 
civic  problems  and  to  appreciate  the  implications  of  scentific  dis¬ 
coveries  for  human  welfare. 

5.  To  understand  the  ideas  of  others  and  to  express  one’s 
own  effectively. 

6.  To  obtain  a  satisfactory  and  social  adjustment. 

7.  To  maintain  and  improve  his  own  health  to  co-operate  and 
acting  intelligently  in  solving  community  health  problems. 

8.  To  enjoy  and  understand  literature,  art,  music  and  other 
cultural  activities  as  expressions  of  social  and  personal  experience 
and  participate  to  some  extent  in  some  form  of  creative  activity. 

9.  To  acquire  the  knowledge  and  attitude  basis  to  a  satisfying 
family  life. 

10.  To  choose  the  socially  useful  and  personally  satisfied  voca¬ 
tion  that  will  permit  one  to  use  to  the  fullest  and  his  particular 
interest  and  ability  and  finally  to  acquire  and  use  skills  and  habits 
involved  in  critical  and  constructive  thinking. 

Now,  that  the  program  for  people  in  general  and  not  for  pro¬ 
fessions  and  if  the  people  in  general  are  going  to  get  basic  educa¬ 
tion  on  a  college  level  up  to  that  point  within  a  period  of  ten  years 
or  more  it  certainly  behooves  us  as  pharmacists  to  keep  pace  with 
that  and  many  of  you  remember  the  heartaches  that  have  come  to 
those  who  are  graduates  of  two  and  three  year  courses  at  a  time 
when  a  four  year  course  was  in  the  offering  and  shortly  became 
and  found  themselves  in  a  position  when  they  were  unable  to  meet 
the  grade  required  for  Civil  Service  position  or  positions  of  re¬ 
sponsibility  elsewhere,  and  don’t  let’s  get  these  students  who  are 
training  now  into  the  position  where  in  a  short  time  after  they  have 
graduated,  in  a  position  a  step  or  two  below  those  who  will  be 
coming  on. 

I  think  it  is  our  duty  to  see  that  we  keep  step  with  the  progress 
of  education  in  general  as  well  as  keep  step  with  the  progress  in  edu-

cation  in  pharmacy.  I  need  to  say  a  word  about  our  manpower 
problems.  The  American  Pharmacy,  The  Selective  Service  Act  was 
until  19  5  5  and  it  also  introduces  something  new,  namely;  the  Uni¬ 
versity,  Military  Service  and  Training.  We  have  very  definitely 
included  in  that,  when  I  say  “we”  I  am  talking  about  pharmacists, 
and  thank  the  Lord  for  the  first  time  since  this  Legislation  has  been 
on  the  statute  books,  pharmacy  is  specifically  mentioned  in  the  Act 
as  one  of  the  professional  groups  which  the  President  may  make 
rules  as  to  deferment  or  postponement  of  inductions  if  it  is  in  the 
National  Health  Field’s  interest. 

Now,  that  means  that  pharmacy  is  in  the  same  position  as 
medicine  and  dentistry  have  been  so  when  you  go  before  a  local 
Board  about  a  specific  case  you  speak  of  pharmacists  being  needed. 
Of  course,  the  case  is  going  to  be  considered  on  its  own  merits  and 
that  is  true  of  any  of  the  cases  hut  if  the  Board  says  “well,  we  don’t 
know  whether  pharmacy  is  a  profession  or  not,  or  we  don’t  know 
bow  things  are  going  to  be”  and  if  you  don’t  have  to  go  to  Wash¬ 
ington,  you  don’t  have  to  wait  for  regulations. 

I  spent  several  hours  yesterday  in  the  Selective  Service  Office 
going  over  prospective  rules  and  regulations  on  this  subject  and 
the  question  arose  as  to  how  necessary  it  is  to  defer  Pharmacist 
students.  We  were  able  to  point  out  very  clearly  what  the  situation 
is  and  it  is  going  to  be  necessary  for  you  through  your  Association, 
state  and  local  Associations,  to  keep  these  boys  informed  on  the  sup¬ 
ply  and  demand  of  pharmacists  right  along — don’t  wait  until  you 
have  a  specific  case,  because  then,  it  is  looked  upon  as  a  selfish  matter 
and  not  as  a  matter  of  general  interest.  If  you  keep  those  boys 
informed  as  to  what  the  situation  is  so  that  they  are  educated  and 
alert  to  the  situation,  they  then  will  use  their  judgment  construc¬ 
tively  and  not  feel  that  we  were  trying  to  urge  a  particular  case. 

Now,  let’s  take  a  look  at  what  the  Selective  Service  itself  is  up 
against.  General  Hershey  told  us  that  out  of  100  men  that  are  in 
the  draft  age,  or  in  the  draft  dimension,  28^4  vets  as  defined  by 
law,  24-3/10  are  over  the  age  and  5.6  have  ben  rejected  for  some 
reason,  10.4  have  been  deferred  on  account  of  dependents,  making 
a  total  of  nearly  74%  which  leaves  them  26  out  of  100  men  from 
which  they  can  actually  make  their  selections  for  the  requirement 
in  the  army,  navy  and  air  force  if  they  call  for  certain  numbers  of 
men  and  you  can  see  that  the  whole  idea  has  to  be  rather  tough 
about  deferment,  but  we  have  apparently  been  able  to  show  that 
pharmacy  is  an  essential  profession  regardless  of  what  the  Labor 
Department  or  Commerce  Department  say  about  the  essentiality  of 
criticalness  of  the  profession  within  the  law  that  it  is  necessary  that 
they  can  be  deferred. 

I  think  it’s  a  great  step  forward  and  I  think  that  it  goes  a  long 
ways  towards  solving  that  problem  which  we  have  had  with  us  for 


60 


The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST 


quite  some  time.  Now,  who  are  these  people  who  are  practicing 
pharmacy  today  and  where  did  they  practice?  We  have  54,000  retail 
pharmacists  throughout  the  United  States.  We  have  101,000  regis¬ 
tered  pharmacists.  Roughly,  we  have  1100  manufacturing  pharmacy 
organizations — we  have  16  00  whole  drug  organizations — we  have 
75  colleges  of  pharmacy  and  49  Boards — 49  State  Associations,  in¬ 
cluding  District  of  Columbia  as  a  state  organization.  What  is  this 
group  which  in  terms  of  numbering,  when  you  add  them  all  up,  is 
infinitesimal  to  50,000,000  people  in  the  United  States.  What  does 
this  group  do,  nearly  400,000,000  times  a  year?  It  takes  the  lives 
of  citizens  into  their  hands  because  it  compounds  that  many  prescrip¬ 
tions.  That  is  a  lot  of  prescriptions  and  it  is  a  lot  of  lives  if  you 
want  to  put  it  that  way  and  that  is  the  way  to  put  it  to  the  people 
who  are  ignorant  about  the  service  which  pharmacy  renders.  This 
small  group  makes  about  ten  billion  contacts  annually  with  the  public, 
of  the  United  States.  That  is  to  say  that  every  family  has  to  have 
at  least  2  members  visiting  a  drug  store  at  least  two  or  three  times  a 
week  and  the  tremendous  power  of  this  group  which  we  might  call 
the  point  of  sale,  the  time  when  they  are  making  their  decision  as 
to  what  it  is  they  are  going  to  buy  for  various  wants,  be  they  pharma¬ 
ceutical  or  otherwise,  it  gives  you  an  idea  of  the  responsibility  this 
group  takes  in  its  contact  with  the  public. 

I  look  upon  the  pharmacist  in  his  community  as  a  purchasing 
agent  for  health  and  medical  care  matters.  That  includes,  not  only 
drugs  and  medical  accessories  but  also  includes  such  things  as 
methods  of  paying  for  their  medical  care. 

We  have  today  40,000,000  people  under  the  Blue  Cross.  There 
are  35,000,000  more  that  are  under  some  form  of  private  insurance 
programs  for  purchasing  their  hospital  care  and  parts  of  their 
medical  care — 75,000,000  people,  half  of  the  population  of  the  United 
States  are  now  using  the  insurance  principle  for  paying  for  their 
medical  care.  Is  it  important  for  us  to  know  something  about  the 
method  that  is  involved?  Last  year  your  Association  in  company 
with  some  others,  passed  a  resolution  dealing  with  the  Blue  Cross 
plans  and  condemning  certain  activities  of  the  Blue  Cross.  We  looked 
into  that.  The  thing  grew  out  of  some  comment  that  was  made  out 
in  Montana  by  a  pharmacist  who  said  that  the  hospitals  had  taken 
away  prescription  work  and  he  got  the  Association  to  pass  a  resolu¬ 
tion — the  resolution  was  passed  and  sent  on  to  other  states  and  they 
all  passed  the  resolution  without  giving  it  any  thought — came  to  the 
A.  Ph.  A.  and  the  N.A.R.D  and  there  again  the  Resolution  Committee 
passed  some  resolution  regarding  it  and  it  was  thrown  back  into  the 
office  of  the  secretary  of  the  A.  Ph.  A. — that’s  why  the  A.  Ph.  A. 
was  concerned  and  I  then  went  to  the  President  of  the  Blue  Cross 
organization  in  Chicago  and  I  said,  “What  is  this” — he  said,  “I 
don’t  know — we  are  not  interfering  in  any  way  with  the  practice  of 


The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST

pharmacy — let’s  find  out”;  so  they  sent  a  man  to  Montana  and  he 
found  there  that  there  were  60  hospitals.  Out  of  those  60,  about  5 
registered  pharmacists  were  there  some  years  ago.  Because  of  the 
agitation  brought  by  the  Board  of  Pharmacy  and  others  to  put  regis¬ 
tered  pharmacists  into  those  hospitals  so  that  the  people  would  get 
proper  hospital  pharmacist  service  the  hospitals  began  to  put  these 
men  in  there  to  serve  only  their  hospital  population,  not  anybody 
outside,  they  were  not  taking  prescriptions  from  outside.  Of  course, 
some  of  those  hospitals  had  been  previously  served  by  nearby  phar¬ 
macists. 

He  cannot  complain  when  the  hospital  itself  puts  in  a  properly 
equipped  pharmacy  and  a  registered  pharmacist — he  wants  that 
done — that  personal  individual  lost  something  which  of  course  he 
would  rather  have  some  other  way  of  replacing  and  therefore,  he 
goes  to  the  Association,  asks  for  the  resolution  to  be  passed,  they 
pass  it  without  thinking  on  the  part  of  a  great  group  of  people  and 
we  put  ourselves  in  a  position  where  we  are  attacking  something  that 
is  entirely  out  of  order  and  I  can  tell  you  definitely  that  the  Blue 
Cross  and  Blue  Shield  have  no  intention  whatsoever  of  approaching 
the  practice  of  pharmacy.  They  are  not  going  to  pay  for  medicine 
that  is  given  to  ambulatory  patients.  They  are  dealing  only  with 
bills  in  the  hospitals  so  we  don’t  need  to  worry  about  that  so  I 
thought  I  would  mention  it  because  so  many  get  ideas  about  these 
things  which  are  not  straight  because  they  don’t  get  the  full  informa¬ 
tion. 

Now,  on  the  question  of  getting  the  right  kind  of  information 
let  me  digress  now  to  something  which  I  know  you  will  want  to  know 
something  about  and  that  is  the  prescription  filling  and  refilling 
problem.  I  strenuously  object  to  having  the  American  Pharma¬ 
ceutical  Association  placed  in  a  position  by  anyone  of  not  co¬ 
operating  with  pharmacy  in  general  in  any  problem  that  needs  solu¬ 
tion  and  I  can  tell  you  very  definitely  that  when  Commissioner 
Dunbar  made  his  famous  speech  in  19  48  before  the  N.A.R.D.  in 
which  he  said  that  no  prescription  could  be  refilled  regardless  of 
what  it  contained  (and  we  felt  like  analyzing  that  speech)  as  he 
was  attacking  a  very  vital  thing  for  every  American  Pharmacist. 
For  10  years  the  Act  has  been  on  the  books  and  no  such  pronouncing 
has  been  made.  Suddenly,  out  of  a  clear  sky,  comes  the  victim  that 
from  this  day  on  you  cannot  refill  any  kind  of  a  prescription  and  not 
trusting  ourselves  completely  in  analyzing  the  situation,  we  went 
to  a  well  equipped  lawyer,  Judge  Arnold,  and  asked  him  whether 
there  was  any  justification  for  such  a  pronouncement  on  the  basis 
of  the  present  Food  and  Drug  Act  and  Judge  Arnold  said  that  there 
was  not.  Well,  we  said  what  do  we  do  about  this  in  order  to  correct 
the  situation?”  He  said,  “Well,  there  are  only  a  few  things  you  can 
do — First,  you  can  have  the  pharmacist  who  was  accused  of  refilling 


62 


The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST 


a  prescription — have  his  case  tried  in  court  and  go  ahead  and  see 
what  the  court  says  about  it,” — so  we  tried  to  get  a  case  where  a 
pharmacist  had  been  apprehended  by  the  Food  and  Drug  Administra¬ 
tion  for  refilling  a  prescription,  any  prescription. 

We  were  not  able  to  discover  any  cases  of  refilling  of  prescrip¬ 
tions  where  the  person  has  also  sold  over  the  counter  certain  of  these 
prescribed  drugs  which  the  act  prohibits.  Now,  you  can’t  separate 
these  things  when  action  is  brought.  Dr.  Kantner  knows  and  others 
who  have  been  in  law  enforcement  work  know  that  when  you  are  a 
law  enforcement  official  you  try  to  bring  everything  that  is  in  favor 
of  your  case  into  an  indictment  or  into  a  complaint  so  that  you  will 
have  all  the  necessary  elements  there  to  win  your  case. 

Now,  they  did  not  bring  any  case  on  a  refillable  prescription 
except  where  there  was  a  sale  over  the  counter.  We  can’t  defend 
sales  over  the  counter  of  dangerous  drugs.  We  can  defend  the  re¬ 
newal  of  prescriptions  but  we  could  not  find  a  case,  so  the  next  step 
then  was  to  see  if  we  could  get  a  court  to  give  declaratory  judgment 
on  this.  Declaratory  judgment  is  something  the  courts  enter  into 
where  there  is  no  trial  but  where  there  is  confusion  as  to  the  meaning 
of  a  law  and  you  bring  the  case  before  them  in  the  form  of  brief 
and  argument  and  then  they  decide  whether  the  agency  that  has 
been  interpreting  the  law  in  certain  ways  is  correct  or  not  so  we 
attempted  to  do  that  but  the  first  thing  we  were  told  that  had  to  be 
done  in  order  to  make  such  a  case  was  to  get  a  ruling  because 
up  to  that  time,  the  Commissioner  had  only  expressed  himself  in  a 
speech  in  Article — “Answers  to  Questions  in  Journals”  and  in  “Pro¬ 
nouncements  in  the  Press”  never  issued  a  ruling.  There  is  no 
ruling  on  the  books  today  on  the  refilling  of  prescriptions  nor  the 
filling  of  prescriptions.  Nobody  knows  actually  whether  the  Federal 
Food  and  Drug  Act  permit  any  ruling  under  the  presumption,  so  we 
asked  for  the  ruling. 

Now,  one  would  think  that  the  mere  asking  for  a  definite  ruling 
and  a  public  hearing  so  that  medicine,  pharmacy,  manufacturing 
pharmacy,  retail  pharmacy,  hospital  pharmacy  could  be  heard, — to 
point  out  to  these  people  in  the  Administration  what  actually  goes 
on  in  the  compounding  of  prescriptions  and  in  the  relations  between 
physicians  and  their  patients  and  the  pharmacists,  we  felt 
that  that  ought  to  be  brought  out  in  a  public  hearing  and  oh  the 
basis  of  that,  there  ought  to  be  a  decent  kind  of  ruling,  but 
opposition  came  to  granting  such  a  hearing  from  two  sources,  both 
the  Drug  Administration  and  the  National  Association  of  the  Retail 
Druggist. 

We  were  called  into  a  conference  with  the  Administration,  Mr, 
Ewing,  and  he  had  their  three  representatives  of  these  three  groups. 
We  argued  in  favor  of  a  public  hearing  and  a  ruling  on  this  subject 
for  purposes  which  I  have  already  explained.  The  Drug  Administra- 


The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST 


63 


tion  and  the  N.A.R.D.  argued  against  it.  After  the  lapse  of  a  month 
or  more  the  Administration  said,  “We  find  merit  in  the  contention 
that  there  is  confusion  about  this  matter  of  filling  a  prescription,” 
and  while  we  were  denied  a  hearing  we  issued  in  the  Federal  Register 
a  ruling  on  this  subject  which  we  think  will  clarify  the  situation 
and  we  were  extended  3  0  days  in  which  anyone  if  interested,  could 
make  a  suggestion.  The  30  days  were  up  on  January  6th.  Various 
groups  made  representations  to  the  Administrator.  We  have  not 
heard  since  January  6th  whether  there  is  to  be  a  ruling  or  not  and 
mind  you,  we  did  not  ask  for  the  ruling  as  something  necessary  to 
guide  us  permanently,  we  asked  for  it  so  that  we  could  get  this 
declaratory  judgment  from  the  court  on  a  specific  ruling  of  the 
Administration  which  is  the  proper  legal  procedure. 

Now,  in  the  meantime  of  course  there  was  introduced  the  Dur- 
ham-Bill  in  19  48  which  was  the  first  Durham-Bill  that  provided 
that  in  the  Federal  Food  &  Drug  Act  shall  be  construed  to  refill 
in  any  way  to  prescriptions.  That  was  a  very  swift  piece  of  legis¬ 
lation,  and  naturally,  it  was  opposed  by  the  Food  and  Drug  Adminis¬ 
tration  very  strenuously.  Nothing  came  of  it  for  that  reason 
and  I  will  say  for  them  that  it  would  have  been  bad  to  have  had  such 
a  swift  piece  of  legislation  because  we  do  not  want  them  to  control 
the  drugs  nor  do  we  want  them  to  come  into  our  drug  stores  and 
control  the  compoundng  and  dispensing  of  prescriptions,  so  that 
ended  the  first  Durham-Bill. 

A  new  Congress  came  along  and  the  second  Durham-Bill  was 
introduced  which  was  different.  It  provided  for  certain  things 
regarding  telephone  prescriptions — you  could  telephone  a  prescrip¬ 
tion  to  a  pharmacist  but  you  had  to  follow  it  up  in  32  hours  with 
a  written  prescription  from  the  doctor.  We  did  not  think  that  was 
good  business  because  we  have  had  experience  with  trying  to  get 
copies  of  prescriptions  from  some  physicians  after  they  had  been 
given  over  the  telephone  in  connection  with  narcotics,  etc.,  and 
there  was  enough  trouble  in  this,  let  alone  all  the  other  business. 
Mind  you,  we  were  trying  to  get  this  ruling,  in  the  meantime  there 
was  nothing  compatible  between  these  two  methods  of  procedure. 
In  the  one  case,  we  were  trying  to  get  a  ruling  from  the  court,  in 
the  other  case  it  was  felt  that  legislation  was  the  thing  to  do  but 
that  legislation  was  not  written  by  the  N.A.R.D.  it  was  written  by 
the  Food  and  Drug  Administration  and  the  N.A.R.D.  and  in  writing 
that  legislation,  the  Food  and  Drug  Administration  introduced  some¬ 
thing  new  that  had  nothing  to  do  with  the  main  issue  which  was 
filling  and  refilling  of  prescriptions  and  that  new  thing  was  to  set 
up  the  Administration  to  determine  what  shall  be  a  so-called  legend 
drug  and  what  shall  be  a  known  legend  drug.  That  was  introduced 
into  the  picture  and  of  course,  there  was  immediate  opposition  to  it. 
Then  Congress  died  within  two  years  and  with  it,  died  the  second 


64 


The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST 


Humphrey-Bill  so  we  come  along  now  to  the  time  when  we  were 
working  with  ruling  and  the  third  Humphrey-Bill  was  introduced 
some  time  early  this  year  but  Mr.  Durham,  before  introducing  the 
bill  said,  “I  am  not  going  to  have  this  same  difficulty  that  I  had  the 
last  time  where  there  was  opposition  to  some  of  the  phases  of  this 
Bill.  I  am  going  to  call  everybody  interested,  in  my  office  and  discuss 
this  matter.” 

In  the  meantime,  the  Maryland  Pharmaceutical  Association  had 
issued  a  request  to  hospitals,  pharmacists,  apothecaries,  and  the 
N.A.R.D.  to  bring  together  a  group  which  could  be  discussing  this 
matter  of  Federal  Legislation  and  the  group  had  several  meetings. 
They  met  with  the  Food  and  Drug  Administration  but  it  was  so 
clearly  apparent  that  with  the  F.D.A.  and  the  N.A.R.D.  lined  up  on 
one  side  and  not  willing  to  give  any  talk  and  the  other  people  feeling 
that  this  was  something  that  dealt  with  a  very  vital  professional 
prerogative  of  a  pharmacist  it  therefore  had  to  be  maintained  and 
•with  that  we  would  not  get  anywhere  and  now  comes  Mr.  Durham 
and  he  says,  “now  I  am  going  to  bring  the  group  together  and  see 
what  we  can  do  about  it.”  There  were  present  at  that  hearing, 
attorneys  for  the  Drug  manufacturers,  pharmaceutical  manufac¬ 
turers,  the  propriety  associations,  N.A.R.D.  and  the  A.Ph.A.  We  had 
no  attorney  there  but  Dr.  Shaefer  and  I  appeared.  We  had  a  very 
pleasant  discussion  of  the  whole  matter. 

We  agreed  finally  that  the  72  hour  business  should  be  cut  out 
of  any  possible  legislation  and  then  we  said  that  if  you  want  to 
authorize  telephone  prescriptions,  it  ought  to  he  a  complete  author¬ 
ization  and  not  a  limited  authorization.  For  instance,  if  a  pharmacist 
is  called  by  a  physician  and  he  dictates  a  prescription,  the  phar¬ 
macist  writes  that  prescription  down  and  if  he  has  any  doubt  in 
his  mind  as  to  whether  it  was  really  the  man  he  purported  him 
to  be,  he  could  call  back  after  the  prescription  was  given  just  to 
assure  himself  that  it  came  from  that  office  and  that  ought  to  be 
enough.  Furthermore,  we  thought  that  if  a  patient  came  into  a 
pharmacy  and  handed  out  a  bottle  and  said,  ‘‘I  would  like  to  have 
that  refilled,”  the  pharmacist  would  say  to  him,  “Are  you  still 
under  the  doctor’s  care?”  and  patient  would  answer  “Yes,”  that 
ought  to  be  enough  authorization  for  the  refilling  and  it  should  not 
be  necessary  for  the  pharmacist  to  question  that  and  go  to  the 
telephone  everytime  there  was  a  question  of  renewal  and  get  a  veri¬ 
fication  on  it.  It  is  a  nuisance  to  the  physician,  a  nuisance  to  the 
pharmacist  and  we  think  we  are  still  old  fashioned  enough  to 
think  that  when  the  state  licenses  a  man  to  practice  pharmacy  it 
does  not  only  give  him  a  piece  of  paper,  it  transfers  to  him  certain 
responsibility  to  exercise  professional  judgment  and  we  still  think 
that  when  a  man  spends  a  lot  of  time,  he  has  to,  to  get  his  license 
to  practice  pharmacy,  he  ought  to  have  the  right  and  the  desire  to 


The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST 


65 


exercise  professional  judgment  and  not  merely  be  made  an  auto¬ 
maton  that  hands  out  a  package  and  makes  change. 

We  may  be  wrong  about  that  but  we  do  not  think  that  the  ma¬ 
jority  of  Pharmacists  in  the  United  States  want  to  get  themselves 
into  a  position  where  everything  they  do  in  the  professional  field 
has  to  be  set  up  in  plain  ABC  language  on  a  label  so  that  they  can 
show  it  to  the  patient  and  say,  “See,  I  can’t  sell  this  to  you  because 
it  says  so  on  the  label”.  They  ought  to  be  able  to  say,  “this  is  some¬ 
thing  that  you  should  not  take  without  proper  supervision”.  “We 
can’t  give  it  to  you  without  a  physyician’s  prescription”  or  “without 
verification  from  the  doctor,”  whatever  it  may  be.  Now,  I  put  it  to  you, 
as  professional  people,  whether  we  want  to  get  ourselves  in  the  posi¬ 
tion  of  merely  being  pawns  in  a  game  or  whether  we  want  to  be  indi¬ 
viduals  who  represent  something  in  our  community  in  the  way  of 
professional  people. 

My  whole  fight  in  this  thing  is  from  that  standpoint  and  I  would 
quit  everything  I  am  doing  for  American  Pharmacy  today  if  I  felt 
that  the  pharmacists  of  the  United  States  were  not  completely  sold 
on  the  idea  that  they  are  professional  people  who  can  exercise  judg¬ 
ment,  who  can  write  a  label  and  who  can  carry  out  a  physician’s  in¬ 
structions  and  who  can  take  a  certain  amount  of  initiative  and  who 
can  advise  patients  on  what  the  proper  course  of  procedure  with  re¬ 
spect  to  such  things  as  the  refilling  of  prescriptions.  If  they  cannot 
do  that,  I  think  we  have  just  given  up  everything  that  we  have  been 
trying  to  do. 

Now,  to  continue  with  the  situation  here;  during  the  discus¬ 
sion  in  Durham’s  office,  when  we  got  all  through,  he  said,  “now  gen¬ 
tlemen,  I  find  that  we  are  not  in  agreement  on  a  number  of  things 
here,”  the  principle  thing  of  course,  was  on  this  legend  business  and 
he  said,  “I  see  no  way  in  which  to  get  agreement  and  get  the  legisla¬ 
tion  that  we  want  except  to  have  this  bill  introduced  and  have  you 
appear  before  the  proper  community  of  congress  and  tell  them  just 
what  your  arguments  are  and  let  them  write  the  legislation  as  they 
are  supposed  to  do.  When  you  do  that,  then  of  course,  you  have  to 
be  prepared  and  tell  your  story.” 

Now,  what  I  have  told  this  Committee  has  been  clearly  distorted 
in  places  and  I  want  to’take  just  a  minute  or  two  to  read  an  excerpt 
to  just  what  I  told  these  people.  I  said  to  them,  “let  me  illustrate 
what  is  at  stake  here.  Assume  that  you  or  one  of  your  constituents;” 
— I  am  speaking  to  the  Congressmen  now  and  I  said  to  them,  “there 
is  a  good  bit  of  traveling  by  rail  or  plane  and  you  complain  to  your 
physician  that  you  cannot  sleep  or  that  you  are  subject  to  motion 
sickness  while  you  are  traveling — he  will  prescribe  an  appropriate 
sedative  or  some  efficient  drug  for  your  special  needs.  You  are  to  take 
the  prescribed  medicine  only  when  you  travel  and  according  to  the 
physician’s  directions  on  the  label  of  the  prescription,  and  you  keep 


66 


The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST 


it  in  your  travel  bag.  On  the  next  trip  you  notice  that  at  the  last 
minute  you  have  only  one  tablet  left  in  the  vial  so  you  call  your 
pharmacist — tell  him  the  number  of  the  prescription  and  ask  for 
a  renewal,  even  though  he  knows  you  personally  and  has  filled  the 
prescription  for  you  at  intervals  with  full  knowledge  of  its  purpose, 
the  Food  and  Drug  Administration  says  today  that  you  cannot  have 
a  prescription  refilled  without  going  back  ito  the  physician  and  get¬ 
ting  a  new  written  prescription.  But  even  if  you  go  to  the  doctor 
and  have  him  diagnose  your  case  all  over  again,  he  prescribes  the 
same  drug,  telephones  the  prescription  to  the  pharmacist  yet  it  is  a 
criminal  offense  for  the  pharmacist  to  take  that  prescription  over 
the  telephone.” 

Now  with  HR3298,  that  is  the  Durham-Dunham  Bill  which 
corrects  this  situation.  It  does  so  only  to  the  extent  of  permitting  a 
physician  to  telephone  a  prescription.  You  would  have  to  locate  him 
on  the  spur  of  the  moment,  get  his  authority  for  the  renewal,  unless 
the  prescription  calls  for  a  drug  which  cannot  be  sold  over  the 
counter — any  way,  let’s  take  another  example.  , 

You  or  one  of  your  constituents  have  an  elderly  member  in  your 
family  who  is  under  the  care  of  a  physician  and  requires  a  mainten¬ 
ance  dose  of  the  given  heart  tonic  which  is  supplied  by  pharmacists 
with  a  label  that  reads,  “to  be  dispensed  only  on  a  prescription  by  a 
physician.”  The  physician  calls  on  the  patient  occasionally  and  the 
patient  keeps  in  touch  with  him  by  telephone  or  through  an  occa¬ 
sional  office  visit — the  patient  is  told  to  continue  with  the  medicine. 
The  present  law  according  to  the  Food  and  Drug  Administration, 
does  not  permit  the  prescription  to  be  refilled  and  if  the  pharmacist 
should  fail  to  obtain  a  prescription  each  time  the  patient  requires 
the  medicine,  he  is  liable  to  criminal  prosecution. 

With  HR3  298  will  the  Durham-Dunham  Bill  correct  this  situa¬ 
tion?  It  does  so  only  to  the  extent  of  permitting  a  physician  to  tele¬ 
phone  a  prescription  in  the  first  instance  and  to  order  its  renewal  by 
telephone.  It  does  not  permit  the  patient  to  obtain  a  renewal  of  the 
prescription  without  the  physician’s  personal  intervention,  even 
though  he  has  ordered  the  patient  to  continue  with  the  medicine. 
Do  you  think  your  constituents  want  that  kind  of  restriction  placed 
upon  themselves'  or  upon  the  pharmacist?  Do  you  think  that  they 
would  want  to  put  up  with  that  kind  of  inconvenience?  Would  you 
personally  want  to  be  so  inconvenienced? 

Now,  what  kind  of  people  are  you  dealing  with  in  this  prescrip¬ 
tion  writing  and  dispensing?  I  said  to  the  Committee,  “are  they  un¬ 
educated,  irresponsible  or  incompetent  persons? — On  the  contrary, 
the  pharmacists  of  the  United  States  are  consicentious,  highly  re¬ 
spected  and  well  educated  men  and  women  who  have  been  licensed 
by  the  several  states  to  practice  pharmacy  and  to  meet  on  a  high 
scale  professional  manner,  the  very  problems  which  the  Food  and 


The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST 


67 


Drug  Administration  are  endeavoring  to  solve  by  imposing  burden¬ 
some  and  totally  unnecessary  regulations.  A  practice  of  the  healing 
arts  regulated  by  the  states  by  their  police  power  is  not  a  function 
of  Interstate  Commerce.  The  Voluntary  cooperation  of  medical  and 
pharmaceutical  professions  has  added  greatly  in  the  splendid  en¬ 
forcement  of  the  records  of  the  Bureau  of  Narcotics  and  other  agen¬ 
cies  dealing  with  poisonous  and  dangerous  drugs.  I  continue  to  say 
something  about  this  legend.  Ours  is  a  nation  which  prides  itself  on 
the  system  of  free  enterprise.  If  you  or  I  should  discover  or  produce 
a  drug  which  has  valuable  healing  properties  and  we  believe  that 
even  though  it  is  perfectly  safe  and  harmless,  if  used  properly,  that 
therapeutic  action  is  such  that  it  should  be  used  only  with  proper 
medical  advice,  why  should  we  be  compelled  to  label  it  for  medica¬ 
tion.  That  is  what  the  Food  and  Drug  Administration  is  trying  to 
compell  manufacturers  to  do  under  HR3298. 

Obviously,  any  drug  offered  for  self  medication  should  carry 
on  its  label,  adequate  directions  for  its  use  but  when  the  drug  is  only 
intended  for  use  on  a  prescription  for  medical  practitioners,  it  should 
carry  the  practitioner’s  drugs  for  the  patient.  HR329  8  sets  the  Food 
and  Drug  Administration  up  as  a  judge  as  to  which  drugs  should  be 
supplied  only  on  prescription  and  which  drugs  can  be  supplied  free 
to  anyone.  It  takes  from  the  producer  and  from  the  profession  any 
authority  to  retain  a  drug  in  the  category  of  the  therapeutic  agent  to 
be  supplied  only  on  a  prescription. 

We  do  not  believe  that  the  people  want  any  governmental  agency 
to  dictate  to  the  profession  what  shall  or  shall  not  be  prescribed  in 
medicine.  The  present  Act  gives  the  Administration  unlimited  powTer 
to  tell  manufacturers  to  label  drugs  properly  without  regulated  prac¬ 
tice  of  medicine  and  pharmacy.  The  Administration  does  not  need 
the  provisions  of  HR329  8  to  protect  the  public  health. 

Over  the  years  the  practitioners  of  medicine  have  developed  the 
procedure  in  prescribing  and  dispensing  the  medicine  which  goes 
farther  than  any  Federal  or  state  law  regulation  which  is  the  pro¬ 
tection  of  the  public.” 

I  am  limited  in  my  time  and  I  can  tell  you  that  I  will  continue 
to  point  out  that  from  the  time  of  the  memorial  that  it  has  been  a 
recognized  procedure  to  put  NR  on  a  prescription  that  the  Doctor 
did  not  want  to  be  renewed,  then  the  pharmacist  had  carried  out 
the  doctor’s  orders. 

Mr.  Waples:  Before  we  get  to  Mr.  Thomas’  address  and  movie, 
we  have  the  report  on  Committee  on  National  Pharmacy  Week  by 
Alexander  J.  Ogrinz,  Jr. 


68 


The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST 


REPORT  OP  COMMITTEE  ON  NATIONAL  PHARMACY  WEEK  OF  1950 
Alexander  J.  Ogrinz.  Chairman 

Mr.  Waples,  Members  of  the  Maryland  Pharmaceutical  Asso¬ 
ciation  and  Ladies  and  Gentlemen: 

The  week  of  October  29th  through  November  4th  marked  the 
25th  Anniversary  of  National  Pharmacy  Week.  This  particular  week, 
which  has  Public  Health  as  its  keynote,  tends  to  unite  all  pharma¬ 
ceutical  interests  in  a  great  movement  for  public  information.  The 
American  Pharmaceutical  Association  dedicated  its  195  0  National 
Pharmacy  Week  to  the  fight  against  the  nation  No.  1  Killer— HEART 
DISEASE. 

The  Public  Relations  Committee  of  the  American  Pharmaceu¬ 
tical  Association  sent  to  every  Pharmacy  in  the  United  States  a  fold¬ 
er  describing  the  program,  and  a  business  reply  card  to  request  dis¬ 
play  material.  The  official  display,  which  was  sent  without  charge  on 
request,  was  distributed  with  a  supply  of  leaflets  entitled  “Heart 
Quiz”.  This  was  an  interesting  pamphlet  answering  the  questions 
customarily  asked  about  the  heart  and  its  diseases.  The  leaflets  were 
for  distribution  to  patrons  and  conveyed  a  message  from  the  com¬ 
munity  pharmacist.  Various  Maryland  broadcasting  studios  carried 
periodic  spot  announcements  while  the  newspapers  gave  its  modest 
support. 

Although  the  committee  urged  the  Pharmacists  of  Maryland  to 
participate  in  this  interesting  program,  by  announcing  it  at  various 
Pharmaceutical  Assemblies  and  also  publicizing  the  occasion  in  the 
“Maryland  Pharmacist” — the  number  of  responsive  Pharmacists 
were  extremely  few. 

The  feature  of  the  week  which  should  have  been  of  unusual  in¬ 
terest  to  the  retail  druggist  was  the  National  Pharmacy  Week  dis¬ 
play  competition.  Herein  the  Pharmacist  had  the  opportunity  to 
feature  an  exhibit  or  maintain  a  display  which  would  inform  the  pub¬ 
lic  of  the  professional  character  and  service  of  Pharmacy.  Photo¬ 
graphs  of  these  exhibits  or  displays  were  to  be  sent  to  the  secretary’s 
office — these  were  mailed  to  the  judges  who  selected  the  entry  that 
would  represent  our  state  in  the  National  Competition.  Five  photo¬ 
graphs  were  submitted  by  the  druggists  of  Maryland.  The  Fayette 
Drug  Co.  won  first  prize.  Kinnamons  Pharmacy  won  second  and 
Burriss  and  Kemp  third.  The  judges  which  were  selected  by  Mr. 
Horace  Walker,  secretary  of  the  District  of  Columbia  Pharmaceutical 
Association  were: 

Oscar  Funk — Eli  Lilly  &  Co. 

George  Frates — N.A.R.D. 

Dean  C.  W.  Blivin — Dean  of  Pharmacy — 

George  Washington  University

The  display  of  the  Fayette  Drug  Company  proved  its  Medal  as 
it  went  into  National  Competition  and  received  a  framed  certfiicate 
of  merit  for  an  unusually  effective  display.  Our  own  Dr.  George  P. 
Hager,  Jr.,  was  a  member  of  the  special  judging  committee  that  se¬ 
lected  the  National  entries. 

In  conclusion,  I  should  like  to  urge  the  druggists  of  Maryland 
to  take  advantage  of  future  National  Pharmacy  Weeks  by  profes¬ 
sionalizing  your  store  windows  and  displays  for  at  least  one  week. 
Let  Maryland  stand  out — don’t  let  it  fade  away. 

Mr.  Waples:  Thank  you  Mr.  Ogrinz,  for  a  fine  report. 

We  will  now  have  the  report  of  Mr.  Harry  S.  Thomas  and  a 
movie. 


ADDRESS 

Harry  S.  Thomas,  Asst.  Sales  Manager,  Eastman  Kodak  Co. 

President  Waples  and  Members  of  the  Maryland  Phamaceutical 
Association,  my  initials  are  H.S.T.,  otherwise  there  is  no  similarity 
between  me  and  the  guy  at  the  Blair  House,  because  I  am  a  Rochester 
Republican,  a  little  ways  from  home  and  happy  to  be  here. 

When  the  invitation  to  appear  this  afternoon  was  presented  by 
my  old  friends  Marty  Settler  and  Joe  Binko  and  seconded  by  Mr. 
Strasburger,  I  was  very  glad  indeed  to  bring  my  little  wife  and  drive 
down  here  for  a  day  or  two  and  be  with  you  this  afternoon. 

Mrs.  Thomas  and  I,  you  may  be  interested  to  know,  have  been 
married  12  years  and  have  five  grandchildren.  I  will  explain  that  if 
anybody  does  not  understand. 

Gentlemen,  I  just  happen  to  have  in  my  hand  and  I  found  these 
in  my  pocket  as  I  was  changing  my  coat  a  few  minutes  ago,  three 
little  yellow  cartons,  strangely  enough  they  were  yellow  and  still 
more  strangely  they  contain  three  little  films.  If  you  will  stay  with 
me  for  just  30  minutes,  I’ll  give  you  a  formula  that  will  pay  all  your 
expenses  down  here  and  back  and  those  of  the  Mrs.  as  well.  Is  that 
fair  enough?  O.K.  That  will  be  on  the  blackboard.  This  is  a  three 
ring  circus. 

First,  I  would  like  to  point  out  three  or  four  reasons  why  the 
retail  druggists  in  the  United  States  have  the  finest  opportunity  in 
their  Camera  Department,  if  they  choose  to  make  the  most  of  it,  that 
exists.  First  of  all,  you  are  open  52  weeks  a  year,  when  your  chief 
competitor,  the  Camera  Shops,  are  closed.  Did  you  ever  think  of 
that?  They  are  closed  all  day  Sundays  and  you  are  for  the  best  part 
of  the  day  open;  holidays  as  well  as  evenings.  You  have  many  chances 
to  sell  photographic  merchandise  when  Camera  Shops  and  Depart¬ 
ment  Stores  are  closed.  Don’t  forget  that,  please.

The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST 


Another  thing,  drug  stores  are  family  shops  who  give  to  the 
family  from  the  time  that  the  baby  is  born  until  they  take  Grand- 
pappy  back  and  shoot  him. 

For  some  reason  I  have  never  been  able  to  understand  most 
stores  handling  photographic  merchandise  why  they  ignore  children. 
You  know  the  birth  rate  of  children  in  this  country  today  is  between 
3  Y2  and  4,000,000  a  year.  Those  kids  are  important  to  the  drug 
store, — in  every  department;  they  are  equally  important  in  the  Cam¬ 
era  Department  because  cameras  are  aimed  at  children  more  than  at 
any  other  subject  and  at  the  age  of  10,  those  children  who  are  ignor¬ 
ed  largely,  are  in  many  instances  in  the  drug  stores  taken  care  of  by 
being  supplied  with  their  first  camera  to  use  themselves. 

Today,  picture  taking  is  American’s  No.  1  hobby.  More  people 
are  making  pictures  for  fun  than  are  playing  golf,  going  to  ball 
games,  fishing,  etc.  Why?  Because  picture  taking  goes  along  with 
everything  else  you  do.  It  is  the  ally  of  every  other  hobby  of  every 
other  activity.  You  do  not  have  to  join  a  club,  buy  a  license  or  change 
your  clothes.  There  is  always  a  chance  for  another  picture  and  you 
are  going  to  recognize  it  more  and  more. 

In  addition  to  that,  there  are  two  new  urges  in  picture-taking, 
flashbulb  and  color.  I  think  Marty  Settler  is  about  to  take  a  flash 
picture.  When  the  appeal  of  pictures  in  color  is  multiplied  by  the 
facility  and  convenience  and  ease  in  making  pictures  with  flash  bulbs, 
most  of  the  public  is  as  interested  today  as  much  as  before  in  pic¬ 
ture  taking  as  a  hobby. 

I  could  go  on  quite  at  length,  but  this  is  a  two  hour  talk  and 
I  am  boiling  it  down  as  it  is  getting  a  little  late,  and  I  know  you 
are  ready  for  other  activities,  but  I  will  leave  it  to  the  movie  to  tell 
the  story  of  the  importance  of  Camera  shops  and  drug  stores,  and 
then  I  will  give  you  that  formula  on  the  blackboard,  as  I  think  you 
will  agree  with  me,  it  will  pay  all  your  expenses  for  this  trip  and 
then  some. 

Six  weeks  ago  in  Los  Angeles,  a  man  with  50  drug  stores  (a 
chain)  was  doing  an  amazing  volume  of  photographic  business  per 
store  per  year.  He  instructed  all  clerks  that  when  a  customer  came 
in  and  asked  for  V-620  to  put  three  rolls  out  and  remark,  that,  “it 
looks  like  a  good  weekend  coming  up — why  not  take  a  couple  of 
extra  rolls — bring  your  work  in  for  re-finishing  Monday — if  you 
don’t  want  the  rolls  that  you  have  extra,  bring  them  back  and  we  will 
give  you  your  moneyy  without  any  questions  at  all.”  Three  things 
have  been  accomplished  there.  The  customer  has  been  offered  addi¬ 
tional  rolls  without  any  questions,  the  customer  has  been  reminded 
to  bring  the  rolls  of  films  back  to  that  particular  store  for  refinishing 
and  the  retailer  has  done  everything  he  could  do  reasonably  without 
high  pressure  to  assure  the  sale,  and  finishing  profit.

Now,  people  don’t  bring  the  films  back.  They  keep  them  or  they 
use  them,  so  it  is  safe  enough  to  offer  to  take  it  back  9  9  times  out 
of  100.  The  picture  also  included  in  addition  to  the  three  rolls  of 
films  an  example  of  the  profit  potential  of  one  roll  of  films  which 
may  have  gone  by  so  fast  that  he  would  not  get.  As  a  matter  of  fact 
the  example  was  overly  simplified  in  the  picture  so  that  it  could  be 
grasped  readily  without  a  lot  of  reaction  of  the  picture. 

I  learned  through  the  actual  figures  and  this  is  no  longer  a 
magic  secret  formula  but  yours  to  take  along  home  if  you  wish. 

First  of  all,  I  would  like  to  thank  Marty  and  Joe  for  their  very 
able  aid  for  the  equipment  which  they  saw  to  it,  was  brought  down 
here  and  set  up.  It  was  quite  a  chore.  I  had  a  meeting  last  night  in 
New  York  until  11  o’clock  and  drove  down  this  morning,  so  really 
did  not  have  an  opportunity  to  bring  the  equipment  and  set  it  up 
myself  and  I  appreciate  their  help. 

Well,  let’s  consider  Act  1  in  three  rolls  but  just  one  roll  of  films. 
You  all  see  this  gentlemen?  One  roll  of  films  cost  you  on  an  average 
for  the  five  popular  sizes  and  these  figures  are  National  and  there 
is  no  tax— 31c.  You  sell  that  roll  of  films  on  the  average,  in  the  five 
popular  sizes  in  the  United  States,  including  tax  at  45c.  Your  profit 
is  14c.  That’s  all  right,  but  there  is  nothing  very  remarkable  about 
it.  There  is  plenty  of  merchandise  in  your  store  that  shows  you  the 
same  kind  of  profit  as  this  example  so  far  represents.  Nevertheless, 
you  got  a  lot  of  things  in  your  store  that  don’t  show  this  much  profit 
which  you  know  better  than  I  do. 

I  was  very  much  interested  this  afternoon  in  an  address  made 
by  Dr.  Fischelis,  also  Charley  Austin’s  presentation  of  his  papers 
and  was  impressed  with  the  professional  side  of  pharmacy. 

I  hope  that  this  dollar  and  cents  suggestion  will  be  worthwhile 
taking  home  to  your  children. 

So  what  more  is  there  to  this  profit?  This  one  roll  of  films — 
refinishing? 

Last  fall  three  fellows  went  to  the  Metropolitan — New  York — 
and  called  on  3  70  retail  drug  stores  and  asked  for  a  roll  of  films.  In 
11  instances  out  of  3  70 — 11  only  had  more  than  one  roll  of  films 
and  the  other  359  instances  one  roll  was  put  out  on  the  counter  at 
the  time,  and  only  7  instances  out  of  370  was  the  customer  given 
the  idea  that  he  could  bring  that  roll  of  films  back  to  that  particular 
store  for  good  quality  photo  finishing  service.  It  is  not  at  all  neces¬ 
sary  to  say  that  in  3  63  out  of  3  70,  even  that  much  does  not  happen 
without  suggestions?  What  is  your  selling  price  of  finishing?  Selling 
price  varies  across  the  country  from  46c  per  package,  per  job,  per 
order  in  Pittsburgh  to  80c  in  Boston.  That  is  a  lot  of  story  and  I 
won’t  go  into  it. 

Why  that  vast  spread?  The  average  cost  across  the  United 
States  is  63c  for  every  roll  of  films  developed,  printed,  extra  prints, 


72 


The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST 


enlargements,  returns  through  the  retailer  63c,  the  average,  across 
the  United  States.  The  average  discount  you  will  enjoy  is  1/3  so  you 
make  a  profit  of  21c  out  of  a  63c  sale.  Accordingly,  your  total  profit 
of  21c  plus  14c  is  35c  and  I  leave  it  to  you  gentlemen,  if  that  won’t 
pay  your  expenses  home  and  remember  that  a  35c  gross  profit  is  an 
initial  investment  of  31c  for  one  roll  of  films — multiply  it  by  3  and 
you  can  afford  to  come  down  here  next  year,  and  I  hope  I  will  be 
seeing  you.  Thank  you  very  much.

Miss  Cole:  I  appreciate  being  an  Honorary  President  of  the 
Association.  I  feel  very  grateful.  I  have  never  done  correspondence 
with  the  Maryland  Pharmaceutical  Association  and  I  certainly  appre¬ 
ciate  this  election  and  being  Honorary  President,  I’ll  try  to  be 
just  as  “Ornery”  as  I  can. 

Mr.  Waples:  It  will  be  a  great  pleasure  and  honor  to  have 
you  serve. 

Mr.  Melville  Strasburger:  Mr.  President,  there  have  been  a 
few  changes  here  and  we  will  have  to  work  them'  in  as  we  go  along. 

Mr.  Harrison  is  not  here.  Mr.  Smith’s  talk  can  be  deferred 
until  later  and  I  am  going  to  ask  that  Colonel  Macintosh  be  heard 
at  this  time  because  he  has  a  call  to  get  back  to  Baltimore. 

Is  that  acceptable  to  Col.  Macintosh? 

Mr.  Macintosh:  I  would  suggest  that,  Mr.  President. 

Mr.  Gordy:  We  will  now  have  the  address  of  Col.  Macintosh  in 
reference  to  Civilian  Defense  for  Maryland. 

Mr.  Raichlen,  do  you  want  to  give  yours  first  on  Committee  of 
Pharmacy  in  Civil  Defense? 

Mr.  Raichlen:  As  much  as  it  is  late,  gentlemen, 

REPORT  OF  THE  COMMITTEE  OF  PHARMACY  IN  CIVIL  DEFENSE 
Samuel  J.  Raichlen,  Chairman 

On  June  27th,  1950,  Dr.  Howard  L.  Gordy,  President,  appointed 
me  Chairman  of  the  Committee  of  Pharmacy  in  Civil  Defense.  I 
appointed  the  following  as  members  of  an  advisory  committee: 

Dr.  H.  A.  B.  Dunning  Mr.  C.  J.  Ogrinz 

Dr.  W.  A.  Purdum  Mr.  Ellis  Meyers 

Dr.  Noel  E.  Foss  Mr.  Simon  Solomon 

Mr.  Joseph  Cohen 

These  men  were  appointed  on  the  basis  of  their  being  Pharma¬ 
cists  and  for  their  recognized  ability  in  their  individual  fields  of 
Pharmaceutical  endeavors. 

The  committee  was  heartily  accepted  by  Colonel  David  G.  Mac¬ 
intosh,  the  State  Director  of  Civil  Defense,  and  began  to  function 
immediately  as  a  part  of  the  statewide  organization  of  civil  defense. 
Later  your  chairman  was  appointed  by  Colonel  Macintosh  to  the 
Medical  Aspects  Committee  of  Civil  Defense,  headed  by  Dr.  C.  W. 
Maxson.  After  a  number  of  meetings,  your  committee  drew  up  a 
report  which  substantially  contained  the  following  recommendations: 


The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST 


(1)  The  Pharmacist  is  especially  qualified  by  training  and 
experience  to  advise  the  Physician,  Dentist,  Nurse  and  Veterinarian 
in  the  dispensing  of  drugs  and  other  remedial  agents.  In  addition 
to  presenting  the  statements  that  follow,  the  pharmacist  shall  depend 
in  a  large  measure  on  other  health  professions  to  direct  his  particular 
abilities  into  the  fields  the  Pharmacist  can  best  serve. 

(2)  Pharmacies  will  not  be  First  Aid  Stations,  because  of  the 
lack  of  space  and  facilities.  Present  stocks  of  First  Aid  Supplies, 
Narcotics,  Antibietics  and  Tetanus  Antitoxin  in  the  average  drug 
store  are  inadequate  to  meet  any  major  catastrophe.  (This  was 
ascertained  through  spot  checking  stocks  in  a  representative  number 
of  drug  stores.)  This  emphasizes  the  need  for  planned  stock  piling 
of  drug  and  other  medical  supplies. 

(3)  A  refresher  course  in  First  Aid  should  be  made  available 
to  all  pharmacists.  In  addition  to  including  First  Aid  instructions 
for  Atomic  Warfare  injuries,  it  is  suggested  that  a  subsequent  course 
also  include  instructions  in  blood  typing,  whole  blood  and  plasma 
transfusing.  The  Pharmacist  could  do  blood  typing  in  the  event  it 
is  deemed  advisable  to  type  the  mass  population  before  an  emergency. 

(4)  The  University  of  Maryland  School  of  Pharmacy  is  being 
maintained,  as  far  as  the  faculties  and  facilities  of  the  institution 
are  concerned,  to  be  in  readiness  to  aid  in  any  specific  projects 
dealing  with  Civil  Defense. 

(5)  The  Pharmacist  in  addition  to  his  scientific  background 
is  qualified  in  administration  because  of  his  business  training  and 
experience.  In  order  that  the  Physician,  Dentist  and  Nurse  may 
devote  the  major  part  of  their  energies  to  attending  the  sick  and 
injured  it  is  recommended  that  the  fourth  member  of  the  health 
team,  the  Pharmacist,  be  charged  with  the  duty  of  administration 
for  the  Health  Profession  Teams. 

(6)  It  is  recommended  that  these  health  teams  be  organized 
at  an  early  date  so  that  the  Physicians,  Dentists,  Nurses  and  Pharma¬ 
cists  will  be  familiar  with  each  other  and  their  duties.  There  should 
be  immediate  designation  of  churches,  schools,  halls,  and  other  suit¬ 
able  public  buildings  as  First  Aid  Stations  and  the  assignment  of 
these  health  unit  teams  to  these  stations. 

(7)  It  is  suggested  that  Narcotics  and  other  dangerous  drugs 
be  stockpiled  in  the  vaults  of  banks  or  other  private  institutions  and 
that  they  be  assigned  to  Registered  Pharmacists.  It  is  recommended 
that  suitable  stocks  of  medical  requirements,  including  Narcotics, 
be  stored  in  strategic  suburban  areas  under  the  direction  of  Phar¬ 
macists. 

(8)  Pharmacies  can  be  excellent  sources  of  information  to 
civilians,  because  of  their  standing  in  the  community  and  the  fact 
that  the  public  has  always  displayed  confidence  in  their  judgment. 


The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST 


This  is  important  in  the  psychology  of  an  emergency.  It  is,  there¬ 
fore,  recommended  that  a  pamphlet  on  behavior  during  Atomic 
attack  be  made  available  immediately  for  distribution  to  the  public 
at  large  through  the  drug  stores  of  the  state. 

These  recommendations  were  incorporated  in  a  paper  and  pre¬ 
sented  at  a  meeting  of  the  Medical  Aspects  Committee  on  November 
12,  by  your  chairman,  along  with  the  pledging  of  the  unqualified 
support  of  every  Pharmacist,  individually  and  collectively,  in  the 
state. 

The  committee  has  appointed  a  chairman  of  Pharmacy  in  Civil 
Defense  for  each  county  in  the  state,  and  the  overall  program  has 
been  outlined  to  them.  They  are  as  follows: 

Anne  Arundel,  C.  H.  Crandall;  Balto.  County,  J.  Sapperstein; 
Caroline  County,  J.  A.  Truitt;  Carroll,  R.  S.  Porterfield;  Cecil,  G.  M. 
Schmidt;  Dorchester,  J.  Earl  Webster;  Frederick,  J.  F.  Warner; 
Garrett,  C.  W.  Englander;  Harford,  H.  Haizenholder;  Howard,  M.  J. 
Fitzsimmons. 

Kent,  A.  L.  Sterling;  Prince  George,  P.  Karnak;  Queen  Anne, 
E.  V.  Sterling;  Somerset,  F.  L.  Toole;  St.  Mary,  Milton  Hillman; 
Washington,  A.  Harbaugh;  Wicomico,  L.  W.  Krause;  Worcester, 
W.  W.  Seward;  Calvert  and  Charles,  L.  Seller;  Talbot,  W.  D.  Hill; 
Montgomery,  J.  W.  Saks. 

Early  in  February,  Pharmacists  of  Baltimore  County  were 
formally  organized  at  Towson,  and  there  will  be  more  of  these  meet¬ 
ings  in  other  parts  of  the  county  and  the  state. 

On  November  27  and  29,  two  seminars  on  Medical  Education 
for  Atomic  Defense  were  held  at  the  Baltimore  City  College.  Through 
your  committee,  every  Pharmacist  in  the  state  was  invited  to  attend, 
along  with  other  Health  Professions.  Many  took  advantage  of  the 
meetings. 

On  Thursday,  August  10th,  1950,  your  chairman  represented 
Pharmacy  at  a  meeting  held  at  the  Baltimore  City  Hall  for  reports 
on  the  Civil  Defense  progress. 

At  the  January  Meeting  of  your  committee  of  Pharmacy  in 
Civil  Defense  it  was  decided  the  Pharmacist  should  participate  more 
actively  in  educating  the  public,  and  that  the  Pharmacist  begin  some 
courses  in  First  Aid.  Two  Subcommittees  were  appointed. 

For  Publicity  and  Education — Joseph  Cohen,  Chairman;  Dr. 
H.  A.  B.  Dunning,  Dr.  Si  Solomon. 

For  Red  Cross  Training — Mr.  A.  J.  Ogrinz,  Chairman;  Dr.  Noel 
E.  Foss,  Dr.  W.  W.  Purdum. 

Under  the  first  committee,  the  “Six  Survival  Secrets  in  Case  of 
Atomic  Attack”  cards  were  created  and  distributed  to  practically 
every  drug  store  in  Baltimore  City,  Baltimore  County,  and  in  many 
of  the  other  counties.  There  were  approximately  one-half  million 
of  these  cards  distributed.  Much  publicity  was  given  this  project 


76 


The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST 


through  radio,  television,  and  the  press,  and  we  have  in  our  files 
many  letters  of  thanks  from  the  public,  schools,  and  other  organiza¬ 
tions. 

Under  the  Red  Cross  Training  Committee,  and  with  the  co¬ 
operation  of  the  Baltimore  Chapter  of  the  American  Red  Cross,  five 
Advanced  First  Aid  classes  were  organized  and  have  been  completed. 

When  the  Baltimore  Chapter  of  the  American  Red  Cross  opens 
its  blood  bank  in  August,  the  Pharmacists  of  Baltimore  City,  Balti¬ 
more  and  Howard  Counties  will  act  as  Blood  Donor  Recruiting 
Centers.  In  this  program,  the  Red  Cross  will  furnish  signs  designat¬ 
ing  the  stores  as  official  recruiting  centers  for  blood  donors  and  other 
advertising  materials  and  publicity. 

On  February  16,  your  chairman  addressed  the  quarterly  meeting 
of  the  State  Department  of  Health,  attended  by  th  Health  Officers 
from  every  county  in  the  state,  on  “Where  Pharmacy  Will  Fit  in  the 
Civil  Defense  Program.” 

On  February  28,  Dr.  R.  H.  Riley,  director  of  the  Health  Service 
Division  in  Civil  Defense,  appointed  your  chairman  as  a  member  of 
his  Advisory  Council,  Mr.  J.  Cohen  and  Dr.  A.  Purdum  to  the  Com¬ 
mittee  on  Supplies,  and  Mr.  Ellis  Meyers  and  Mr.  S.  Solomon  to  the 
Committee  on  Personnel. 

On  May  7th  and  8th  your  chairman  and  Dr.  Noel  E.  Foss 
attended  the  National  Civil  Defense  Conference  held  at  the  Statler 
Hotel  in  Washington  as  representatives  of  the  Maryland  Pharma¬ 
ceutical  Association  and  the  A.P.H.A. 

On  June  7th,  your  chairman  was  called  on  by  Dr.  Turner  to  sit 
in  advisory  capacity  with  the  Baltimore  City  Medical  Services  Com¬ 
mittee.  In  all  phases  of  this  important  work,  Pharmacy  has  been, 
and  is  being  represented  and  consulted  continuously. 

In  conclusion,  Pharmacy  in  Maryland  has  shown  its  initiative 
in  accepting  its  responsibility  in  Civil  Defense,  and  has  established 
an  example  for  the  other  health  groups  in  its  efficient  organization 
and  co-operation.  It  is  sincerely  hoped  that  each  individual  member 
of  the  profession  of  pharmacy  will  help  to  maintain  this  enviable 
status. 

Before  I  close,  I  would  like  to  call  attention  to  two  question¬ 
naires  that  will  be  sent  in  a  very  short  while.  One  is  from  the  Com¬ 
mittee  on  Personnel  that  will  try  to  determine  where  the  pharmacists 
are  and  what  they  are  doing  during  the  day  and  during  the  night. 

The  second  will  come  from  Dr.  Kantner  and  will  be  “question¬ 
naire  on  supply.” 

We  will  try  to  determine  approximately  just  what  supplies 
there  are  in  the  drug  stores  in  case  of  an  emergency. 

I  would  like  to  personally  thank: 

Drs.  Foss,  Dunning,  Purdum  and 

Messrs.  Cohen,  Ogrintz,  Meyers,  Solomon

And  also  Mr.  Howard  Gordy  for  his  splendid  co-operation  and 
to  the  many  pharmacists  of  the  state  for  the  magnificent  co-operation 
which,  without,  this  job  could  never  have  been  done. 

I  thank  you. 

Mr.  Gordy:  Thank  you,  Sam  Raichlen,  for  a  very  fine  report. 
You  have  done  a  marvelous  job  this  year. 

Mr.  Samuel  Raichlen:  I’ll  switch  now  from  a  report  to  an  intro¬ 
duction. 

Again  Mr.  Chairman,  Ladies  and  Gentlemen,  it  is  with  a  great 
deal  of  personal  pleasure  that  I  introduce  a  speaker  this  morning. 
His  accomplishments  are  many  and  in  a  broad  sense,  he  can  be 
somewhat  compared  to  a  pharmacist,  as  a  pharmacist  is  both  a 
scientist  and  a  merchant  so  the  speaker  is  both  a  business  executive 
and  a  soldier. 

After  graduating  from  the  Gilman  Country  School  and  then 
from  Princeton  University  in  1933,  in  addition  to  receiving  his  aca¬ 
demic  honors,  he  also  received  a  2nd  Lieut.  ROTC.  He  then  became 
associated  with  the  Alexander  Brown  Company  in  investment  bank¬ 
ing  and  completed  approximately  six  years  but  also  was  an  officer 
in  the  Maryland  National  Guard. 

In  19  41  when  the  National  Guard  was  Federalized  our  speaker 
was  promoted  to  the  rank  of  a  major  and  a  little  later  in  England 
he  was  made  executive  officer  in  the  110th  Field  Artillery  Battalion. 

After  much  service  abroad — from  Omaha  Beach — to  his  return 
in  1945  to  this  country  where  he  acted  as  director  of  prisoners  of 
war  in  the  3rd  Service  Area  ,he  returned  to  civilian  life  and  became 
associated  with  the  Mercantile  Trust  Company  as  an  Assistant  Sec¬ 
retary  but  he  also  continued  his  military  connections.  As  Com¬ 
mander  of  the  224th  Field  Artillery  Battalion  he  later  became  op¬ 
erations  officer  on  the  staff  of  General  Evans — Commander  of  the 
29th  Div.  Artillery. 

In  January,  1950,  he  was  appointed  Civil  Defense  Director  of 
the  State  of  Maryland.  If  ever  a  man  were  chosen  well  for  an  im¬ 
portant  job,  the  speaker  is  that  man,  so  the  1950  Freedom’s  Federal 
Award  was  awarded  the  Maryland  Civilian  Defense  Regency  and  that 
and  David  G.  Macintosh  are  synonomous.  He  has  chosen  a  chapter 
that  is  of  immediate  interest  to  all  of  us — Civil  Defense  and  Free¬ 
dom.  It  is  with  honor  that  I  present  Col.  David  G.  Macintosh. 

ADDRESS 

Col.  David  G.  Macintosh,  III 
Director,  Civilian  Defense  of  Maryland 

Mr.  Macintosh:  Miss  Cole,  Mr.  Gordy,  Mr.  Waples  and  my  good 
right  arm  in  pharmacy,  Sam  Raichlen,  it  is  a  great  pleasure  and  an 


78 


The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST 


honor  for  me  to  be  asked  to  come  and  talk  to  all  of  you  here  this 
morning  and  I  rather  thought  that  instead  of  going  into  a  great 
deal  of  detail  about  the  Civil  Defense  Program  that  we  might  look 
at  it  from  some  of  the  brother  aspects. 

First,  however,  let  me  bring  you  up  to  date  on  a  few  items 
of  interest  that  will  filter  through,  I  hope  in  not  too  long  a  time,  to 
the  phase  of  Civil  Defense  in  which  you  are  interested. 

You  will  recall  that  the  Maryland  Legislature  authorized  the 
Bond  Issuance  of  a  Million  Dollars  for  Civil  Defense.  As  a  result 
of  that  we  were  in  a  position  on  the  6th  of  June  last,  to  come  up 
with  a  proposition  to  match  the  Federal  Government  or  funds  for 
the  purchase  of  medical  supplies  for  Civil  Defense  in  the  following 
amounts: 

For  First  Aid  Stations — $128,000.00,  of  which  one  half 
is  being  contributed  by  the  counties  of  the  state,  prorated  on 
the  number  of  first  aid  stations  that  each  will  be  asked  to  or¬ 
ganize  and  that  runs  from  1  in  the  small  counties  up  to  34  in 
Baltimore  City.  The  Balance  of  the  funds — $186,000.00  is  for 
the  purchase  of  certain  strategic  supplies,  if  you  wish  to  call 
them  that,  or  critical  supplies  such  as  serums,  anti-biotics,  blood 
donor  sets  and  a  large  number  of  additional  blankets  if  we 
can  get  them.  I  might  say,  if  we  can  get  any  of  these  things. 

Those  figures  total  from  the  State’s  standpoint,  $314,000.00 
to  be  matched  in  like  amount  by  the  Federal  Government  have  been 
approved  by  the  Government’s  new  Advisory  Council  of  Civil  Defense 
and  the  Board  of  Public  Works  and  will  be  made  available  -through 
the  issuance  of  funds  for  that  purpose.  This  is  the  first  time  that 
we  really  have  gotten  the  money  to  implement  this  Civil  Defense 
Program. 

At  the  same  fime,  the  Board  of  Public  Works  authorized  the 
extension  of  the  Maryland  Civilian  Defense  Agency  through  the 
bond  issuance  in  an  amount  of  $125,000.00  additional,  what  we 
call  Administrative  purposes  in  order  that  we  can  have  in  the  future 
a  full  size  organization  to  carry  on  this  Program. 

You  probably  realize  that  the  State  Civil  Defense  Agency  for 
eight  months  was  composed  of  two  people  and  for  the  last  six 
months  of  two  more,  a  total  of  four.  This  will  give  us  a  complete 
staff  with  enough  secretarial  help,  I  think,  to  get  a  great  many 
things  done  much  more  rapidly. 

Now,  what  has  Civil  Defense  to  do  with  Freedom? 

I  know  that  you  ladies  and  gentlemen  expect  me  to  talk  about 
Civil  Defense.  However,  rather  than  go  into  the  details  of  the  Civil 
Defense  program,  I  should  like  to  approach  the  subject  from  some 
of  its  more  fundamental  aspects,  hoping  to  arouse  your  interest  and 
to  convince  you  of  the  necessity  for  a  Civil  Defense  program  in  the

U.  S.  today.  Civil  Defense  is  I  feel,  but  one  segment  of  a  much 
broader  problem  and  that  problem  is  freedom.  Unfortunately,  we 
have  come  to  the  point  where  the  American  people  must  be  sold  on 
the  subject  of  freedom. 

It  is  true  that  more  individual  freedom  exists  in  the  U.  S.  today 
than  in  any  other  place  in  the  world  and  so  you  might  ask  why  we 
should  worry  about  freedom  in  a  country  which  has  vast  natural 
resources  and  the  highest  standard  of  living  of  any  nation  in  the 
world.  Not  long  ago  I  was  visited  by  an  Englishman  and  he  made  one 
of  the  saddest  remarks  I  have  heard  in  a  long  time.  I  was  question¬ 
ing  him  about  the  Labor  government  of  England  and  the  success 
they  have  had  in  socializing  industry  and  other  aspects  of  their 
daily  lives.  How,  I  asked,  Las  the  Labor  government  been  able  to 
get  away  with  it?  His  reply  in  effect  was,  “that  the  people  of  Great 
Britain  were  losing  their  will  for  freedom.”  If  we  are  not  careful  we 
may  also  lose  our  will  for  freedom  and  that  is  why  we  should  not 
only  worry  about  it,  but  do  something  about  it  here  and  now. 

If  you  examine  history  you  will  find  there  are  four  (4)  funda¬ 
mental  factors  which  have  destroyed  nations  in  the  past.  All  of 
these  factors  are  present  today  and  all  of  them  in  one  way  or  an¬ 
other  threaten  our  freedom.  First,  Conquest;  second,  Usurpation; 
third,  Bankruptcy,  and  fourth,  Indifference.  Some  of  these  factors 
involve  the  military  aspect  and  others  the  political,  using  the  word 
political  in  its  broadest  sense.  Let  us  examine  each  of  them  in  the 
light  of  present  day  conditions.  Of  course,  none  can  be  considered 
entirely  by  itself,  as  they  are  all  somewhat  interrelated. 

Soviet  Russia,  which  desires  to  enforce  its  idealogies  on  the 
rest  of  the  world,  is  the  only  nation  that  either  wants  to  or  is  in  a 
position  to  attempt  to  conquer  the  U.  S.  and  the  other  free  demo¬ 
cratic  nations  of  the  world.  Just  what  can  Russia  do  to  us  at  this 
time?  In  other  words,  how  vulnerable  are  we  to  an  attack?  It  is  a 
known  fact  that  Russia  has  planes  of  the  type  copied  from  the  B-29 
with  sufficient  range  to  attack  the  Continental  U.  S.  from  well  or¬ 
ganized  bases.  We  know  also  that  she  has  the  atomic  bomb  in  some 
form  and  in  some  quantity.  I  wonder  if  you  realize  that  there  is 
virtually  no  part  of  the  Continental  U.  S.  which  the  Soviet  Union 
cannot  bomb,  if  she  chooses  to  launch  suicide  attacks.  If  she  chooses 
to  have  a  bit  more  regard  for  the  lives  of  her  pilots  and  only  launch 
two-way  missions,  she  can  hit  two-thirds  of  the  U.  S.,  including  al¬ 
most  all  of  our  major  industrial  areas.  I  am  sure  that  you  realize  no 
matter  how  much  of  the  radar  screen  we  have  or  how  many  bombers 
and  interceptors  and  anti-aircraft  artillery,  and  other  counter  forces 
which  we  have  or  may  develop,  some  enemy  planes  can  always  get 
through.  If  we  knock  down  30  per  cent  we  are  doing  well.  This  state 
of  vulnerability  to  attack  by  major  power  has  not  existed  in  this  coun¬ 
try  since  1812,  but  it  does  exist  today.  We  also  know  that  missiles 


80

with  atomic  war  heads  can  be  launched  from  surface  vessels  or  from 
submarines  and  we  cannot  overlook  the  possibility  of  sabotage  of 
the  most  insidious  nature.  I  believe  that  you  will  agree  then  that 
in  1951,  it  can  happen  here  and  that  we  can  no  longer  efford  to  be 
complacent  in  the  light  of  the  military  might  which  is  currently  be¬ 
ing  developed  in  Soviet  Russia.  Nor  is  there  a  better  nation  to  pro¬ 
tect  us  while  we  get  ready,  as  Great  Britain  did  from  ’39-’41. 

Now  let  us  look  at  the  matter  of  Usurpation.  Unhappily  enough, 
we  have  gradually  come  to  the  point  in  our  history  where  we  now 
look  to  the  government  to  do  almost  everything  for  us.  Everyone  is 
looking  for  a  handout  and  gradually  the  atmosphere  has  been  created 
that  the  government  owes  every  man  a  living.  This  has  not  always 
been  the  case  either.  It  was  tried  once  before  very  early  in  our  his¬ 
tory  and  in  no  other  place  than  the  Plymouth  Colony  itself.  History  is 
of  no  value  to  us  unless  we  use  it  to  interpret  our  present  and  plan 
our  future.  Let  me  refresh  your  memory  as  to  what  happened  at 
Plymouth  300  years  ago.  Recall  if  you  will,  the  purpose  of  the  long 
voyage  of  those  early  settlers.  They  were  in  search  of  Freedom,  and 
when  they  landed  at  Plymouth  there  was  no  one  there  to  do  anything 
for  them  and  they  had  in  fact  mighty  little  to  do  with  but  courage 
and  faith.  There  was  no  Federal  Government  standing  there  with 
a  handout — just  forest  and  Indians.  They  had  a  conviction  that 
they  could  succeed  and  attain  the  freedom  they  sought  if  they  used 
their  individual  energy  and  initiative.  But  it  was  not  as  easy  as  that. 
The  first  winter  was  very  hard  and  as  they  were  not  use  to  the 
rigors  of  this  new  land,  many  died  from  the  cold,  including  their 
leader,  Gov.  Carver.  Inside  of  four  months  their  number  had  been 
cut  in  half.  But  they  did  not  give  up  even  though  conditions  grew 
worse.  In  the  spring  they  even  planted  corn  on  the  graves  of  their 
dead  comrades  to  conceal  their  losses  from  the  Indians.  Many  indi¬ 
vidual  adjustments  had  to  be  made  as  supplies  ran  low.  Discontent 
increased  and  their  new  leader,  Gov.  Bradford,  decided  it  would  be 
a  fine  idea  to  pool  their  efforts  and  divide  their  crops  equally  among 
them.  The  results  were  almost  disastrous.  The  industrious  man 
would  not  work  because  he  knew  that  some  of  the  results  of  his 
labor  would  be  given  to  others.  The  lazy  man  would  not  work  be¬ 
cause  he  felt  he  would  be  taken  care  of  anyway.  The  women  would 
not  help  in  the  fields  because  there  was  no  one  to  mind  their  children 
and  protect  their  homes.  It  did  not  take  Governor  Bradford  long  to 
realize  that  the  plan  was  a  failure  and  so  he  announced  by  a  de¬ 
cree,  that  each  man  would  be  allowed  to  keep  for  himself  the  product 
of  his  own  individual  labor.  The  industrious  went  back  to  work  be¬ 
cause  he  had  an  incentive.  The  lazy  had  to  work  also,  for  he  knew 
the  days  of  a  handout  were  past. 

So  ended  the  first  attempt  at  a  socialistic  form  of  government  in 
America  ...  an  utter  and  complete  failure.  And  so  will  any  nation 


The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST

fail  which  embarks  on  a  course  in  which  a  man  cannot  profit  from 
the  fruits  of  his  own  labor. 

The  success  of  the  people  at  Plymouth  and  the  settlers  all 
along  the  coast,  created  a  point  of  view  which  became  so  ingrained  in 
their  descendants  that  they  would  not  tolerate  taxation  without  rep¬ 
resentation  and  revolted  against  the  arbitrary  authority  of  an  op¬ 
pressive  government.  The  war  of  independence  was  the  result  and 
then  we  created  a  new  form  of  government.  While  the  Constitutional 
Convention  was  meeting  in  Philadelphia,  Benjamin  Franklin  met  a 
venerable  lady  on  the  street  one  day  and  she  stopped  and  asked  him, 
“Mr.  Franklin,  what  kind  of  a  government  are  you  forming”?  His 
reply  was,  “Madam,  a  democracy  if  you  can  keep  it.”  And  so  was 
born  a  form  of  government  in  which  the  state  was  the  servant  of 
man  and  not  man  the  servant  of  the  state.  If  we  allow  the  state  or 
any  foreign  power  to  take  over  the  inalienable  rights  which  are  set 
forth  in  our  constitution,  we  will  lose  the  incentive  which  is  the  only 
basis  for  progress — Free  enterprise.  The  free  enterprise  which  has 
made  possible  the  progress  from  the  little  log  huts  of  the  early  set¬ 
tlers  to  the  40  million  American  homes  with  their  radios,  their 
washing  machines,  their  television  sets  and  automobiles  and  all  of 
our  modern  conveniences.  This  did  not  all  happen  without  faith, 
without  initiative,  without  labor  and  without  sacrifice.  Is  there 
not  then  today,  a  great  challenge  to  us  to  keep  “this  democracy” 
which  has  given  us  the  greatest  freedom,  the  greatest  progress  and 
the  highest  standard  of  living  in  the  history  of  mankind. 

Now  let  us  turn  to  the  third  factor  .  .  .  BANKRUPTCY.  It  is 
perhaps  trite  to  remind  you  that  government  has  been  getting  big¬ 
ger  and  bigger,  more  and  more  powerful  and  more  and  more  regula¬ 
tory.  Naturally  the  cost  of  government  has  risen  and  is  rising  now 
along  with  everything  else.  The  result,  is  larger  and  larger  taxes 
to  pay  the  bill.  This  ascending  spiral  cannot  go  on  indefinitely.  Some¬ 
thing  is  bound  to  give.  I  do  not  deny  that  in  our  complex  social 
political  and  industrial  life  today  that  we  do  need  regulation.  But  the 
trouble  is  that  all  of  it  is  coming  from  government  because  we  have 
lost  sight  of  the  fundamental  purpose  for  the  founding  of  the  colonies 
and  establishing  this  great  republic — freedom.  Remember  that  your 
earnings  are  the  only  source  of  income  to  government  and  if  you 
have  not  the  incentive  to  earn,  government  will  not  have  the  source 
for  its  income.  You  must  be  allowed  the  opportunity  to  make  a 
fair  return  on  your  investment,  be  it  labor  or  capital.  You  know  you 
cannot  go  on  indefinitely  living  above  your  means.  Government  must 
also  be  required  to  operate  within  its  means  and  not  at  the  expense 
of  your  freedom. 

Finally,  we  come  to  Indifference.  Indifference  to  any  of  the 
first  three  factors  or  all  of  them  may  also  lead  to  our  downfall.  We 
are  all  so  busy  trying  to  make  a  dollar  that  we  lose  sight  of  the 


82 


The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST 


fundamental  reason  for  acquiring  it — the  greater  exercise  of  our 
individual  liberty.  In  no  phase  of  our  daily  lives  are  we  more  indif¬ 
ferent  than  to  the  Civil  Defense  program.  I  am  reminded  of  the 
story  of  the  man  who  went  to  see  a  psychiatrist  about  his  brother 
...  he  explained  to  the  doctor  that  his  brother  was  going  around  the 
house  cackling  and  scratching  and  generally  acting  like  a  chicken  and 
the  family  was  greatly  disturbed  about  the  matter.  The  psychiatrist 
threw  up  his  hands  and  said  that  it  was  too  late  for  him  to  help  this 
man  and  that  the  family  should  commit  him  to  an  institution.  “In 
fact,”  he  said,  “why  haven’t  you  done  so  already”  ...  to  which  the 
brother  replied,  “that  they  would  have  done  so  but  they  hated 
to  give  up  the  eggs.”  Everyone  wants  to  keep  on  having  the  eggs — 
no  one  wants  to  make  the  individual  sacrifices  necessary  to  get  the 
Civil  Defense  job  accomplished.  You  may  say,  let  George  do  it,  but  I 
say  that  you  are  George  and  if  you  do  not  do  it,  who  will.  Specific¬ 
ally,  this  means  that  we  must  have  large  numbers  of  volunteers  to 
man  the  various  Civil  Defense  Services.  Auxiliary  Firemen;  Nurses’ 
Aides;  Doctors;  Dentists;  Pharmacists;  Carpenters;  Electricians; 
Plumbers;  Welfare  Workers;  First  Aid  Workers;  Litter  Bearers  and 
dozens  more — each  in  the  capacity  in  which  he  is  best  prepared  to 
serve  now,  by  virtue  of  his  business,  profession,  trade  or  training. 

The  time  was  when  we  looked  to  our  armies  in  the  field,  our 
battleships  on  the  oceans  and  our  aircraft  in  their  unlimited  sea 
of  space,  to  protect  us  from  destruction  by  armed  conquest.  Today, 
from  a  military  standpoint  we  need  another  arm  to  defend  us.  That 
arm  has  been  called  the  missing  link  of  our  defensive  system.  That 
arm  is  Civil  Defense  and  that  means  every  single  ablebodied  man, 
woman  and  child  in  this  country.  You  know  as  well  as  I  dp  that 
wars  today  are  total — that  they  are  global  in  their  sphere  of  action 
and  require  the  effort  of  every  industry  and  every  resource  which  can 
be  mustered,  in  order  to  turn  back  an  enemy.  And  now  included  in 
this  total  concept  is  the  fact  that  the  citizens  must  be  able  to  with¬ 
stand  the  shock  and  perils  of  atomic  bombs  or  any  other  kind  of 
attack.  We  are  spending  billions  and  billions  of  dollars  on  our  armed 
forces.  We  are  hardly  even  spending  pennies  on  our  civil  defense, 
which  ultimately  may  well  be  the  defensive  arm  which  saves  us, 
bcause  through  it  and  by  it,  we  can  minimize  the  effects  of  an  enemy 
attack  and  create  among  our  people  the  feeling  that  we  can’t  be 
licked  by  any  aggressor. 

If  we  were  to  spend  the  billions  for  Civil  Defense  which  we  are 
currently  spending  for  our  armed  forces,  we  might  soon  go  bank¬ 
rupt.  Civil  Defense  therefore  must  be  approached  on  a  sound  economic 
basis  and  a  greater  realization  on  the  part  of  each  individual  that  it 
is  his  civic  duty  to  do  something  to  protect  himself,  his  family  and 
the  freedom  they  love  so  well.  We  must  get  away  from  this  insidious 
concept  that  has  crept  into  our  daily  lives,  that  government  will  do 


The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST

everything  for  us.  Government  can’t  afford  to  do  so  and  government 
shouldn’t  do  so.  It  did  not  take  the  people  of  Plymouth  long  to  find 
out  that  when  their  government  was  to  provide  the  food,  there  would 
be  none  because  the  incentive  to  produce  it  had  been  taken  away. 
Sure,  Civil  Defense  will  cost  money,  but  it  will  take  far  more  than 
money — it  will  take  initiative,  and  sacrifice  in  both  time  and  effort 
on  the  part  of  many  volunteers,  stirred  by  the  realization  that  the 
liberty  we  enjoy  did  not  just  happen  and  that  if  we  wish  to  maintain 
it  we  must  be  willing  to  take  the  neoessary  action  now. 

We  inherited  a  vast  investment  from  those  early  settlers  .  .  . 
their  stake  was  their  lives.  We  must  take  care  of  that  great  invest¬ 
ment!  And  Civil  Defense  is  one  of  the  new  factors  we  must  use  to 
preserve  it.  If  we  are  not  willing  to  forge  this  new  link  in  our  chain 
of  defense,  and  if  through  our  indifference  Civil  Defense  fails  to  be 
realistic,  to  be  economical,  to  be  practical,  we  will  have  thrown 
away  a  great  opportunity  to  protect  our  investment  in  the  cause  of 
liberty.  No  one  individual  can  do  this  job  by  himself  .  .  .it  must  be  a 
unified  effort. 

Someone  not  long  ago  summed  it  up  in  this  way.  Freedom  is 
not  bestowed  ...  it  is  to  be  achieved.  Freedom  is  not  a  gift — but  a 
conquest.  Freedom  does  not  abide — it  must  be  preserved.  It  was 
not  bestowed  on  the  people  at  Plymouth  but  they  achieved  it  and  it 
will  not  abide  with  us  to  whom  it  was  given,  unless  we  strive  to  pre¬ 
serve  it  by  our  own  sacrifices  today.  Let  it  not  be  said  in  this 
Association,  by  those  who  made  the  supreme  sacrifice — “they  let 
us  down.” 

Mr.  H.  L.  Gordy:  Thank  you  very  much  Col.  Macintosh  for 
a  very  brilliant  address.  It  was  a  privilege  and  pleasure  to  have 
you  with  us. 

We  now  have  the  address  of  Mr.  Harry  J.  Towers,  Manager  of 
the  Retail  Distribution  Department  of  E.  R.  Squibb  &  Sons. 

SURVIVAL  OR  OPPORTUNITY 

Harry  J.  Towers,  Manager,  Retail  Distribution  Dept.,  R.  L.  Squibb  &  Co. 

Mr.  Harry  J.  Towers:  Past  President,  Mr.  President,  Secre¬ 
tary,  gentlemen  of  the  Maryland  Pharmaceutical  Association,  guests, 
fellow  travellers  and  ladies,  it  is  certainly  a  pleasure  to  be  here,  a 
lot  more  than  I  ever  realized  to  come  down  here  would.  It  has 
been  a  pleasure  to  meet  you  fellows  and  be  with  you  and  I  know 
it  will  b  a  pleasure  too  to  enjoy  this  fine  resort  for  a  couple  of  days 
and  I  certainly  want  to  say  how  much  I  also  appreciate  Mr.  Smith 
giving  his  time  to  me  so  that  I  could  get  here  this  morning,  because 
I  do  have  to  go  back  this  afternoon.

Six  years  is  not  a  very  long  time  .  .  .  you  only  paid  your  state¬ 
ments  due  the  10th  of  the  month  72  times  since  1945.  Yet  when 
we  consider  the  events  that  have  packed  themselves  into  that  short 
period  we  can  appreciate  the  need  for  flexibility  and  adaptability  in 
order  to  roll  with  the  punches  and  grasp  the  opportunities  made 
available. 

The  past  six  years  .  .  .  and  I  use  this  period  because  it  was  the 
beginning  of  the  so-called  peace  or  post-war  phase  of  drug  marketing 
.  .  .  the  end  of  O.P.A.  and  the  beginning  of  what  looked  like  open 
competition  and  free  markets  .  .  .  19  45  to  the  present  is  regarded 
as  the  most  bountiful  and  prosperous  in  American  history  .  .  .  these 
years  can  also  be  looked  upon  as  the  most  complex  and  perplexing, 
especially  when  complications  such  as  the  Supreme  Court  threw  at 
us  a  few  weeks  ago  .  .  .  and  now  must  be  worked  into  our  already  full 
program  of  getting  the  most  out  of  every  day,  month  and  year. 

An  interesting  mural  could  be  painted  of  the  American  drug¬ 
gist  groping  through  the  maze  of  regulations,  adjustments,  revamp- 
ings,  pressures,  and  bad  guesses  of  politics,  merchandising  schemes, 
super-market  competition  and  international  maneuvers.  He  has  seen 
sales  records  .  .  .  birth  records  .  .  .  speed  records  .  .  .  and  even  weather 
records  .  .  .  smashed  with  staccato  rapidity.  Jet  planes  are  in  the 
air  ...  4  million  new  homes  have  been  built  .  .  .  communities  have 
been  springing  up  and  with  them  the  newly  developed  suburban 
shopping  centers  ...  19  million  cars  are  on  the  road  .  .  .  the  television 
industry  has  been  born  and  developed  to  the  extent  that  shopping 
hours  are  affected  and  changed  to  fit  Hopalong  Cassidy  .  .  .  Milton 
Berle  ...  or  the  Kefauver  Committee  ...  a  war  ended  and  another 
started  .  .  .  the  corner  druggist  has  gone  through  demobilization 
and  into  remobilization  ...  he  has  observed  allies  turning  into 
enemies  and  a  world  shaping  itself  for  an  uncertain  future.  Turning 
to  his  own  industry  he  has  observed  a  transformation  taking  place 
so  fast  that  if  he  were  to  take  a  month  off  it  would  take  him  another 
month  to  catch  up  with  the  events  that  had  passed  him  by  .  .  .  those 
flexible  and  adaptable  enough  to  keep  up  with  all  this  are  finding 
themselves  more  than  ever  before  a  part  of  an  organized  industry 
rather  than  as  an  independent  segment  operating  in  their  own  shops 
.  .  .  much  like  the  Presbyterians  who  went  to  Heaven  and  were  re¬ 
united.  In  their  jubilation  they  became  noisy  and  an  angel  came 
around  to  tell  them  to  quiet  down  as  they  were  annoying  the  Bap¬ 
tists  .  .  .  they  were  told  the  Baptists  thought  they  were  the  only 
ones  up  there. 

When  we  speak  of  our  industry,  the  drug  industry,  we  mean 
the  entire  field  of  medical  and  pharmaceutical  research,  manufactur¬ 
ing,  distribution,  dispensing  and  retailing  .  .  .  too  many  consider 
these  divisions  of  the  industry  as  independent  of  each  other  ...  we 
realize  it  can  be  taken  apart  as  we  would  a  machine  ...  to  analyze

it  or  discuss  it  but  in  order  for  it  to  run  and  perform  the  functions 
for  which  it  is  intended  ...  it  must  be  put  back  together  in  one 
integrated  and  interdependent  mechanism  .  .  .  the  malfunction  of 
one  segment  affects  all  parts  in  the  achievement  of  its  entire  purpose. 

Intensive  research  resulting  in  manufacturing  output  of  a  higher 
volume  of  existing  products  and  new  products  are  keenly  felt  by 
retailers  .  .  .  For  example,  the  antibiotic  development  over  the  past 
six  years  has  caused  a  chain  reaction  to  the  retail  druggists’  level 
while  seeming  gradual,  makes  most  of  you  shudder  when  you  look 
at  a  drug  invoice  and  let  your  minds  wander  “back  when’’  .  .  .  This 
shuddering  is  not  yours  alone  .  .  .  This  manufacturer  of  antibiotics 
now  looks  at  plants  which  cost  him  in  the  many  millions  ...  he  has 
sheet  metal  workers  .  .  .  carpenters  .  .  .  steam  fitters  .  .  .  air  com¬ 
pressors  and  huge  water-pumping  plants  .  .  .  steel  structures  and 
12,000-gallon  tanks  all  over  the  place  and  machinery  grinding  2  4 
hours  a  day. 

In  1945  we  were  told  by  government  officials  that  it  would  be 
unwise  to  expand  our  plants  beyond  a  capacity  of  12  to  15  billion 
units  a  year  .  .  .  that,  they  said,  would  take  care  of  our  needs  .  .  . 
today  we  are  producing  trillions  of  units  a  month  and  can  move 
every  unit  of  it. 

The  United  States  produced  70%  of  the  world’s  supply  of  peni¬ 
cillin  and  80%  of  the  supply  of  streptomycin,  together  with  95% 
of  the  world’s  supply  of  wide  spectrum  antibotics  .  .  .  Chloromycetin, 
aureomycin  and  terramycin  .  .  .  hundreds  of  new  antibiotics  are 
in  the  screening  stages  .  .  .  soil  samples  are  being  tested  from  all 
over  the  world  and  more  millions  of  dollars  are  being  spent  on  plants 
and  research. 

Steroid  hormone  research  is  going  ahead  with  the  same  vigor 
and  vision  .  .  .  There  is  no  need  to  discuss  the  effect  cortisone  and 
ACTH  have  had  on  your  activities  in  the  past  couple  of  years.  This 
field  alone  promised  to  shadow  all  others  in  volume  to  the  retail 
druggist.  Antihistamine  products  have  bene  hitting  over  50  millions 
of  dollars  annually  and  last  year  we  find  the  vitamins  contributed 
over  200  million  dollars  to  the  1950  retail  drug  business. 

Along  with  what  is  going  within  our  business  .  .  .  Factors  out¬ 
side  the  drug  industry  are  also  favorably  affecting  the  drug  business 
.  .  .  National  organizations  such  as  the  National  Foundation  for 
Infantile  Paralysis  .  .  .  American  Heart  Association  .  .  .  American 
Cancer  Society  .  .  .  The  Arthritis  and  Rheumatism  Foundation  .  .  . 
have  brought  in  millions  of  American  citizens  with  gifts  to  further 
research  and  interest  the  public  in  pharmaceutical  research  which, 
as  we  said  before,  will  ultimately  affect  the  industry  at  all  levels. 

This  may  sound  a  little  like  the  man  who  excelled  in  gardening 
ard  was  invited  to  speak  at  the  local  ladies  gardening  group  meeting

...  he  kept  referring  to  the  benefits  of  manure  in  getting  desired 
results  .  .  .  the  ladies  complimented  his  wife  on  his  presentation,  but 
asked  if  it  were  possible  for  him  to  use  the  word  fertilizer  instead 
of  manure  .  .  .  his  wife  said  she  would  try  but  didn’t  think  she  would 
have  much  luck  because  it  took  her  30  years  to  get  him  to  use  the 
word  manure,  instead  of  one  more  expressive. 

I  always  think  of  this  story  and  its  implication  when  I  hear  that 
it  is  many  times  said  the  real  need  for  pharmacists  is  waning  be¬ 
cause  75c  out  of  every  dollar  for  prescriptions  are  compounded  by 
Pharmaceutical  manufacturers  .  .  .  this  could  not  be  farther  from 
the  truth  .  .  .  because  of  important  developments  in  the  industry — 
as  stepped  up  research  and  better  methods  of  manufacturing  brings 
more  professional  products  for  use  in  specialized  treatment  of  dis¬ 
ease  .  .  .  There  will  also  be  a  greater  need  for  better  Professional 
distribution  ...  a  greater  need  for  knowledge  on  the  part  of  dis¬ 
pensing  pharmacists  about  new  therapy  .  .  .  dosage  .  .  .  administra¬ 
tion  .  .  .  preservation  .  .  .  and  dispensing  .  .  .  with  this  will  come 
a  closer  alliance  between  the  pharmacist  and  the  physician  and  a 
need  for  a  closer  unity  between  the  pharmacist  and  the  detailing 
representatives  who  are  being  intensively  trained  to  develop  profes¬ 
sional  business.  There  are  10,000  detailing  representatives  in  the 
field  today  .  .  .  one  for  every  5  drug  stores  in  the  country  ...  at  a 
cost  to  manufacturers  of  over  100,000  dollars  annually. 

Direct  mail  to  physicians  has  reached  tremendous  figures  and 
is  designed  for  one  fundamental  purpose  ...  to  direct  prescriptions 
to  the  pharmacies  of  the  country  ...  of  course,  direct  mail  is  created 
and  edited  to  give  information  to  physicians  about  new  products 
and  additional  uses  for  those  now  being  used  but  the  primary  purpose 
is  to  keep  alive  and  increase  the  flow  of  products  through  your  drug 
stores. 

The  need  .  .  .  and  demand  ...  by  druggists  for  more  informa¬ 
tion  about  new  professional  products  has  caused  pharmaceutical 
manufacturers  with  a  stake  in  the  drug  industry’s  future  to  give 
more  thought  to  the  development  of  information  programs  for  the 
retail  druggist  .  .  .  this  need  was  brought  out  in  a  recent  survey 
by  the  American  Druggist  Magazine  on  this  subject.  Programs  are 
under  way  to  comply  with  this  request  by  sending  usable  New 
Products  Briefs,  catalog  information  sheets  for  trade  lists,  and 
medical  abstracts  to  pharmacists.  Events  have  been  moving  so  fast 
for  the  manufacturer  that  it  has  been  difficult  to  bring  all  the  loose 
ends  together  .  .  .  but  great  strides  can  be  looked  for  in  the  near 
future  in  the  line  of  cooperative  professional  promotion. 

A  drug  store  is  fundamentally  established  to  serve  as  the  health 
center  of  the  community  or  to  function  strictly  as  a  professional 
operation  in  a  medical  building  .  .  .  the  main  objective  in  either  case 
is  to  fill  as  many  of  the  prescriptions  written  or  phoned  as  possible 


The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST

.  .  .  The  prescription  department  is  looked  upon  sincerely  as  the 
heart  of  the  drug  store  .  .  .  allied  activities  in  a  drug  store  are  second¬ 
ary  to  the  needs  of  this  department  or  there  is  really  not  very  much 
drug  business  going  on. 

The  pharmacies  of  this  country  filled  3  90  million  prescriptions 
in  the  past  year  .  .  .  this  is  a  little  better  than  a  million  a  day  .  .  .  and 
while  we  have  been  talking  .  .  .  prescriptions  have  been  filled  and 
are  being  filled  at  the  rate  of  750  a  minute  on  a  24-hour  basis.  Dur¬ 
ing  the  days  of  this  convention  about  1,600,000  dollars  a  day  will 
be  rung  up  on  the  cash  registers  for  prescriptions  in  the  drug  stores 
of  this  country.  I  was  a  bit  fearful  of  telling  you  this  because  I 
thought  many  of  you  might  feel  that  you  could  not  afford  to  stay 
around  and  hear  the  rest  of  this  and  I’d  lose  my  audience. 

In  your  state  of  Maryland,  there  are  2800  physicians  writing 
prescriptions  for  your  631  drug  stores  .  .  .  physicians  nationally 
wrote  an  average  of  2,000  prescriptions  last  year.  If  Maryland’s 
physicians  conformed  with  the  national  average,  there  were  about 
5  Y2  million  prescriptions  written  in  this  state  in  1950  .  .  .  these 
new  prescriptions  should  have  been  worth  to  Maryland’s  druggists 
about  8  Yz.  million  dollars  .  .  .  this  is  an  estimate  .  .  .  Actually,  ac¬ 
cording  to  your  all  commodity  sales  in  Maryland’s  drug  stores  in 
1950  of  $57,518,000  and  in  ratio  with  your  past  performance,  the 
business  amounts  to  22.4%  of  your  all  commodity  sales  in  1950 
or  an  average  of  $20,000  per  store  as  compared  with  $12,000.  a 
store  nationally.  Your  overall  store  sales  average  is  also  above 
the  nation  and  according  to  latest  census  reports,  your  stores  are 
running  13%  ahead  of  1950  to  date  in  1951  which  compares  to  a 
10%  gain  in  total  retail  drug  store  sales  for  the  country. 

Quoting  averages  is  much  like  the  porter  who  was  asked  by 
a  traveler  what  the  average  tip  was  and  replied  that  it  was  three 
dollars  ...  he  was  given  three  dollars  and  then  remarked  that  this 
was  the  first  time  the  average  was  reached  on  this  railroad  for  a 
long  time  ...  It  would  be  interesting  to  know  how  many  druggists 
are  above  or  below  the  averages  ...  It  is  true  that  all  do  not  have 
the  same  opportunities  to  compete  for  the  possible  5  Yz  million  pre¬ 
scriptions  available  .  .  .  concentrations  of  physicians  in  medical 
centers  do  not  permit  it  but  every  druggist  had  the  opportunity  to 
associate  his  store  with  top-flight  professional  service  and  compete 
for  any  available  share  in  his  area.  Physicians  in  your  area  are  receiv¬ 
ing  the  same  direct  mail  ...  all  are  being  detailed  by  pharmaceutical 
representatives  .  .  .  your  physicians  are  attending  state  and  national 
meetings  where  new  therapy  is  discussed  and  they  are  receiving  the 
same  general  medical  publications  in  which  new  drugs  coming  on 
the  market  or  are  in  clinical  trial  stages  are  written  up  in  all  their 
complicated  phases.  Every  pharmacist  has  the  same  opportunity  to 


88 


The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST 


know  the  physicians’  needs  in  his  area  and  the  type  of  service  he 
requires. 

We  have  every  reason  to  believe  that  every  prescription  written 
by  a  physician  is  filled  except  the  one  mentioned  in  the  A.M.A.  Jour¬ 
nal  not  long  ago  where  a  doctor  wrote  one  in  the  usual  illegible  hand. 
The  patient  must  have  quickly  recovered  for  he  forgot  to  have  it 
filled  and  later  forgot  what  it  was  .  .  .  the  man  used  it  for  two  years 
as  a  railroad  pass  .  .  .  twice  he  got  into  Radio  City  Music  Hall  and 
once  into  Ebbetts  Field  with  it  .  .  .  and  it  came  in  handy  as  a 
letter  from  his  employer  to  the  cashier  to  increase  his  salary.  His 
daughter  played  it  on  the  piano  and  won  a  scholarship  to  a  con¬ 
servatory  of  music  .  .  .  but  assuming  that  all  others  are  filled  and 
given  to  customers  we  are  able  to  determine  the  total  prescription 
volume  of  this  country  with  fair  accuracyy.  Yet  we  have  no  way  of 
knowing  how  many  sales  were  lost  by  Ohio  druggists  for  not  taking 
the  opportunity  to  sell  prescription  accessories  .  .  .  and  this  amounts 
to  several  millions  of  dollars  a  year.  The  sales  of  thermometers,  heat¬ 
ing  pads,  atomizers,  sick  room  utensils,  and  many  other  helpful 
service  sales  are  becoming  increasingly  important  to  pharmacists 
over  the  country  who  are  endeavoring  to  build  professional  business. 

You  might  say  what  should  we  do  about  it  .  .  .  Written  testi¬ 
monials  are  appearing  in  the  drug  trade  press  showing  how  druggists 
are  really  making  drug  stores  the  health  centers  they  are  intended 
to  be.  We  have  been  keeping  a  scrap  book  of  the  many  articles,  for 
example,  a  Philadelphia  druggist  stepped  up  his  prescription  income 
by  moving  his  department  to  the  front  of  the  store  .  .  .  another  in 
San  Francisco  increased  his  professional  business  40  to  50%  by 
changing  what  he  called  his  store’s  personality  .  .  .  semi-open  depart¬ 
ment  and  emphasizing  delivery  day  or  night  ...  A  New  Mexico 
druggist  installed  a  New  Products  Department  for  visiting  physicians 
and  others  have  been  helped  by  issuing  professional  bulletins  and 
news  letters  to  physicians  and  hospitals.  The  list  of  profitable  ideas 
is  a  long  one  and  no  doubt  all  of  you  could  contribute  a  share  but 
putting  them  to  work  is  the  greatest  need  .  .  .  ideas  are  plentiful  .  .  . 
action  is  scarce. 

Good  packaging,  courteous  service,  sympathetic  understanding 
of  the  responsibilities  of  your  profession  are  more  important  than 
any  function  leading  to  additional  sales  .  .  .  this  I  am  sure  you 
realize  .  .  .  the  human  element  in  pharmacy  is  well  known  to  be 
stronger  than  in  any  other  segment  of  retailing  .  .  .  the  confidence 
gained  through  reputation,  integrity  and  dedication  to  the  health 
needs  of  communities  must  not  be  secondary  to  any  function  in  the 
line  of  bringing  in  additional  revenue.  It  is  true  that  about  35  thou¬ 
sand  drug  stores  in  this  country  cannot  exist  on  professional  service 
alone  .  .  .  they  must  have  the  other  service  departments  not  only 
for  revenue  but  to  give  complete  drug  store  service.  Nevertheless, 


The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST

the  development  of  professional  service  will  have  to  be  carried  on 
with  increasing  vigor  if  these  35  thousand  drug  stores  are  to  re¬ 
main  as  such. 

Selling  the  drug  store  as  the  safest  and  best  place  to  buy  drug 
products  must  be  sold  to  the  public  by  every  pharmacist  for  funda¬ 
mental  reasons  .  .  .  Your  customers  are  changing  .  .  .  New  customers 
coming  of  purchasing  age  ...  in  fact,  19  million  marriages  have 
taken  place  in  the  past  5  years  .  .  .  one-third  of  the  families  in  this 
country  have  been  formed  .  .  .  and  as  a  natural  result  15  million 
babies  have  been  born.  It  is  estimated  that  more  than  55%  of  your 
customers  do  not  remember  a  Republican  Administration  in  the 
White  House  .  .  .  this,  of  course,  may  be  changed  in  1952.  Many 
look  at  business  as  a  continuing  fight  for  survival  .  .  .  this  may  be 
true  to  a  degree  .  .  .  especially  now  in  the  face  of  the  setback  small 
business  has  taken  by  the  action  the  Supreme  Court  chose  to  take 
on  the  Fair  Trade  question  .  .  .  but  from  this  will  surely  come  op¬ 
portunities  to  develop  latent  possibilities  which  through  the  stimulus 
of  necessity  will  come  forth  and  rise  to  greater  heights  than  ever 
were  possible  when  many  things  were  taken  for  granted  .  .  .  thare 
are  no  phony  bargains  in  medicine  .  .  .  illness  does  not  send  a  parent 
with  a  prescription  for  his  child  to  Macy’s  basement  ...  he  will 
take  it  to  someone  he  can  trust  ...  to  someone  he  is  confident  knows 
what  stands  behind  the  label  on  the  package. 

It  could  be  said  that  when  it  comes  to  talking  about  the  drug 
business  these  days  we  have  too  much  information  and  probably  not 
enough  practical  application.  It  is  for  everyone  to  analyze  his  own 
particular  situation  and  know  the  fundamental  motives  and  forces 
he  is  trying  to  cope  with.  It  is  presumptuous  for  anyone  in  the  manu¬ 
facturing  business  to  stand  before  a  group  of  retail  druggists  and 
tell  them  how  to  run  their  particular  drug  stores.  You  know  your 
stores  .  .  .  you  know  what  you  want  to  achieve  ...  we  can  speak  to 
you  only  from  a  manufacturer’s  point  of  view  .  .  .  tell  you  what  we 
want  to  achieve  .  .  .  how  we  would  like  to  fit  into  your  scheme  of 
operation  or  you  into  ours.  We  know  certain  things  are  true  because 
we  are  in  close  contact  with  the  trends  of  the  industry  through  our 
market  research  organizations. 

It  is  in  our  best  interest  to  know  a  great  deal  about  your  busi¬ 
ness  and  we  want  you  to  know  as  much  as  possible  about  ours  .  .  . 
It  is  fitting  to  use  the  phrase  in  these  unsettled  times  that  the  final 
count  will  come  from  the  sum  total  of  us  all  .  .  .  we  cannot  all  do 
big  things  but  everyone  can  do  small  specific  things.  This  is  true  of 
everyone  in  this  room. 

Common  sense  is  much  needed  in  the  drug  business  as  well  as 
in  our  government  and  social  affairs. 

Opportunities  to  be  better  business  men  are  presenting  them¬ 
selves  every  day.  We  need  only  to  look  at  our  own  business  and  sur-

vey  it  from  the  sidewalk  before  our  front  doors  .  .  .  ask  ourselves  a 
few  questions.  How  many  times  in  the  past  year  have  we  called  our 
offices  on  the  phone  and  asked  for  information  to  find  how  our  cus¬ 
tomers  were  handled  and  served. 

How  much  do  we  know  about  our  good  customers  .  .  .  their 
families  .  .  .  their  needs  .  .  .  and  our  ability  to  serve  them.  How  many 
times  have  we  called  on  our  physicians  to  find  how  better  we  could 
cooperate  with  them.  How  many  times  in  the  past  year  have  we 
associated  ourselves  and  our  stores  with  community  health  services 
.  .  .  How  many  times  have  we  sent  a  letter  to  a  customer  who  has 
undergone  surgery  ...  or  the  family  who  has  had  one  of  the  mem¬ 
bers  seriously  ill  requiring  huge  amounts  of  medicine  and  other 
supplies  from  your  store  ._  .  .  How  many  times  have  we  sent  a  letter 
to  a  new  family  in  the  community  or  even  one  who  has  moved 
away  and  you  still  have  on  file  prescriptions  they  may  want  filled 
from  time  to  time  or  your  offering  to  send  them  postage  free  a  fa¬ 
vorite  cosmetic  or  remedy  the  family  used  .  .  .  You  don’t  have  to  be 
an  expert  letter  writer  ...  A  direct  and  above  all  sincere  message 
from  you  in  your  own  way  and  words  is  the  finest  work  obtainable. 

There  are  many  things  to  do  .  .  .  Many  things  to  do  together 
We  are  all  working  in  a  highly  dynamic  economy  .  .  .  An  economy 
which  is  changing  rapidly  and  which  in  all  probability  will  continue 
to  change  rapidly  ...  It  will  develop  many  new  methods  of  doing 
business  .  .  .  many  of  them  better  than  we  have  been  doing  so  far  .  .  . 
There  will  be  new  challenges  and  with  them  new  opportunities  ... 
It  is  aptly  said  that  the  beaten  and  beseiged  think  only  in  terms  of 
survival  and  not  in  terms  of  opportunity  .  .  .  For  them  it  is  easy  to 
forget  that  to  concentrate  on  survival  is  a  sure  way  not  to  survive  .  .  . 

You  cannot  concentrate  on  survival  .  .  .  Concentration  must  be 
on  opportunities  .  .  .  Opportunities  which  will  stem  from  the  present 
disagreements  of  what  is  fair  and  right  in  trading  with  one  another 
.  .  .  Opportunities  to  make  good  customers  .  .  .  better  customers  .  .  . 
Opportunities  available  in  striving  for  the  finest  in  professional  serv¬ 
ice  .  .  .  Closing  the  ranks  of  our  industry  and  working  together  will 
keep  our  thoughts  and  actions  above  the  panic  created  by  those 
who  would  demoralize  the  ideals  we  stand  for  and  strive  for  .  .  .  Our 
choice  is  Opportunity  NOT  survival. 

President  Howard  L.  Gordy:  Thank  you  Dr.  Towers  for  a  splen¬ 
did  address. 

Does  anybody  here  have  any  new  business  to  bring  up  at  this 
time? 

Secretary,  do  you  have  any  new  business? 

Secretary  M.  Strasburger:  I  have  been  asked,  Mr.  President, 
to  announce  that  the  T.A.M.P.A.  meeting  will  not  be  held  at  1  o’clock.

Due  to  conditions  over  which  we  have  no  control,  we  have  been 
forced  to  switch  this  program  around  considerably  this  morning  as 
some  of  the  men  who  were  scheduled  to  talk  this  afternoon  have  been 
called  back  to  their  duties  in  their  offices,  or  to  attend  to  other 
affairs  and  we  have  been  forced  to  turn  things  around  completely. 

I  would  ask,  Mr.  President,  that  we  reassemble  here  precisely 
at  2  o’clock  because  we  have  several  reports  which  should  receive 
our  very  close  attention  and  which  are  of  material  importance  to  the 
members  of  our  Association,  so  if  you  will  comply  with  this  request, 
you  will  help  your  officer  very,  very  much  and  you  will  also  be 
helpful  to  those  people  whose  reports  are  to  be  submitted.  They 
have  gone  to  a  lot  of  trouble  to  compile  them  and  you  will  be  paying 
just  deference  to  them  which  is  theirs.  I  know  that  that  will  com¬ 
plete  our  program  for  this  morning  but  don’t  forget,  please,  to  get 
back  here  at  2  o'clock  promptly  so  we  can  complete  our  program  in 
its  entirety  this  afternoon. 


FIFTH  SESSION 

Thursday,  June  21 

President  Howard  L.  Gordy:  Gentlemen,  we  are  about  to  open 
our  fifth  session  of  the  69th  Convention  of  the  M.P.A.  At  this  time, 
I  will  turn  this  meeting  over  to  our  president  elect.  Bill  Waples  to 
act  as  chairman  this  afternoon. 

Mr.  Wm,  Waples:  Thank  you,  Howard. 

Gentlemen,  we  have  a  full  program  this  afternoon  and  with 
your  indulgence  we  will  get  along  and  try  to  accomplish  as  much  as 
we  can.  We  will  start  the  afternoon  program  with  an  address  by 
Mr.  Stewart  V.  Smith,  Vice  President  of  Wyeth,  Inc. 

ADDRESS 

Stewart  V.  Smith,  Vice  President,  Wyeth,  inc. 

Mr.  President,  Members  of  the  Maryland  Pharmaceutical  Asso¬ 
ciation,  it  is  a  pleasure  to  be  here  and  it  is  a  pleasure  to  have  the 
opportunity  of  duscussing  the  Ethical  Drug  Industry  with  you. 

I  notice  I  have  in  front  of  me  a  wire  recorder,  and  1  only  ask 
that  I  have  the  privilege  of  editing  the  notes  because  I  am  going  to 
speak  extemporaneously.  I  have  a  speech  written,  but  would  much 
prefer  to  talk  with  you  from  the  standpoint  that  we  are  all  one  and 
the  same,  rather  than  any  formal  so-called  address. 

Before  we  go  further  I  think  it  might  be  well  if  we  defined  the 
Ethical  Drug  Industry.  The  word  “ethical”  does  not  necessarily 


92 


The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST 


mean  superiority  in  drugs  but  merely  denotes  a  method  of  promotion. 
Those  complanies  within  the  ethical  drug  industry,  from  the  manu¬ 
facturer’s  standpoint,  limit  their  promotion  through  the  doctors  only, 
using  no  lay  journals  (other  than  for  institutional  advertising), 
radio  or  other  methods  of  the  promotion  of  their  products. 

In  order  that  we  may  more  clearly  see  what  has  been  accom¬ 
plished  by  the  industry  during  the  last  20  years,  I  would  like  to  refer 
briefly  to  the  past  records.  In  19  30  the  ethical  drug  industry  was 
made  up  of  a  group  of  companies  whose  major  product  list  com¬ 
prised  what  are  known  as  “competitives”  today  .  .  .  galenicals,  pow¬ 
ders,  tablets,  sold  in  bulk  .  .  .  the  ingredients  with  which  the  regis¬ 
tered  pharmacist  made  up  prescriptions  written  by  the  physician. 

The  total  volume  of  business  of  the  industry  in  that  period  was 
approximately  $150  to  $200  million  dollars  per  year.  If  the  pre¬ 
scription  files  of  the  retail  pharmacist  were  examined,  it  would  reveal 
that  perhaps  as  high  as  80%  of  the  prescriptions  in  that  era  were 
compounded  by  the  pharmacist. 

I  understood  that  Dr.  Swain  was  going  to  be  here  and  I  am 
sorry  that  he  is  not,  because  I  took  the  time  to  write  Dr.  Swain  about 
an  editorial  that  he  wrote  in  Drug  Topics  approximately  three  weeks 
ago,  where  a  retail  druggist  was  complaining  that  he  was  only  be¬ 
coming  a  package  wrapper. 

The  druggist  claimed  he  was  scraping  labels,  putting  a  prepara¬ 
tion  into  a  package  and  charging  a  prescription  price  and  wondering 
if  that  was  the  high  standard  of  pharmacy  he  was  brought  up  to 
believe  in.  Gentlemen,  if  we  are  not  an  essential  industry  and  we 
are  not  an  essential  trade,  then  we  should  quit  and  go  swimming  and 
enjoy  ourselves. 

Well,  let’s  see  what  the  increase  in  the  past  20  years  has  been. 
We  find  that  today  the  total  worldwide  dollar  volume  of  the  ethical 
drug  industry  will  run  between  $1  billion  2  and  $1  billion  3  during 
19  51.  This  gives  us  a  brief  picture  of  the  growth  and  development 
of  the  industry.  What  has  this  meant  to  pharmacy? 

Every  major  industry  in  the  United  States  is  made  up  of  three 
distinct  functioning  parts: 

1.  The  manufacturer 

2.  Wholesaler  or  distributor 

3.  Point-of-sale 

In  other  words,  a  manufacturer  must  produce  the  goods,  whole¬ 
sale  or  distribution  points  must  be  set  up  and  a  means  of  point-of- 
sale  must  be  established  to  deliver  the  products  and  render  efficient 
service  to  the  ultimate  consumer. 

The  successful  operation  of  an  industry  is  complete  co-ordina¬ 
tion  between  manufacturer,  wholesaler  and  point-of-sale,  and,  gentle- 


The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST

men,  in  my  opinion  there  is  less  co-ordination  in  the  ethical  drug 
industry  than  in  any  other  major  industry  in  the  United  States. 

Undoubtedly  one  of  the  primary  reasons  for  this  lies  in  the 
tremendous  growth  of  the  ethical  drug  industry  during  the  last  20 
years.  We  have  not  kept  pace,  in  all  ways,  with  our  progress. 

The  manufacturer  has  to  produce  the  finest  goods  possible  at 
the  lowest  cost.  He  has  to  carry  on  research  in  order  to  protect 
those  goods,  and  to  develop  new  products.  And  most  important,  he 
has  the  full  responsibility  of  creating  consumer  demand  for  his 
products.  It,  therefore,  becomes  quite  obvious  that  the  manufacturer 
assumes  a  tremendous  responsibility  for  the  overall  industry. 

The  wholesaler  .  .  .  and  in  our  industry  we  think  of  the  whole¬ 
sale  drug  houses  as  both  wholesaler  and  distributor  .  .  .  warehouses 
sufficient  merchandise  to  give  immediate  service  to  the  point-of-sale 
as  consumer  demand  requires. 

The  point-of-sale,  which  in  our  industry  is  the  retail  pharmacy, 
must  stock  sufficient  merchandise  under  proper  conditions  to  make 
immediate  delivery  to  the  ultimate  consumer  and  to  co-operate  with 
the  manufacturer  in  promotional  plans  at  the  point-of-sale. 

It  is  apparent  to  me  that  all  of  us  attempt  to  place  the  blame 
for  our  failures  on  someone  else’s  shoulders.  It  is  vital,  however, 
that  we  accept  facts  and  approach  problems  with  respect  to  the 
various  components  operating  within  the  industry.  In  other  words, 
let  us  view  the  industry  in  light  of  the  three  components  I  have 
cited:  the  manufacturer,  the  wholesaler,  and  the  point-of-sale  or 
pharmacy.  From  observation  of  these  working  units  it  will  be  easy 
to  determine  where  improvements  may  be  made. 

In  1930  we  were  beset  with  depression,  the  most  serious  in  the 
history  of  these  United  States.  The  salary  of  the  average  registered 
pharmacist  was  between  $25  and  $30  a  week.  The  average  price 
of  a  prescription  was  75c  or  less.  At  that  time  salesmen  in  the 
industry  were  practically  100%  registered  pharmacists.  A  man  was 
chosen  by  his  manufacturing  company  because  of  his  acquaintance¬ 
ship  among  pharmacists  in  an  area,  as  you  know. 

Practically  all  of  the  galenicals  and  the  competitives  were 
U.S.P.  and  they  were  sold  pretty  much  on  a  competitive  basis.  It 
was  in  this  period  that  we  began  to  develop  some  of  the  vicious  dis¬ 
tribution  practices  which  have  been  continued  up  to  the  present  day. 

Although  the  depression  caused  hardship  to  many,  there  is  no 
question  but  what  it  was  a  boon  period  to  the  ethical  drug  manufac¬ 
turer  and  the  pharmaceutical  houses.  It  was  in  this  period  that  the 
manufacturer  turned  to  his  researchers  and  said,  “We  must  have 
products  and  specialties!” 

Since  men  could  be  hired  at  $150  per  month,  company  after 
company  doubled  and  tripled  their  sales  force  .  .  .  research  depart-

ments  developed  new  products.  In  19  33,  for  example,  the  vitamin 
business  amounted  to  no  more  than  Cod  Liver  Oil  in  a  bottle.  How¬ 
ever,  in  1934  Squibb  and  White  introduced  an  A  and  D  vitamin 
tablet.  That  was  the  beginning  of  the  vitamin  line.  Then  came  the 
introduction  of  Vitamin  B  (which  I  had  the  pleasure  of  introducing) 
in  1935.  By  1939  the  vitamin  specialty  business,  through  the  retail 
drug  store  trade  in  the  United  States,  amounted  to  more  than  $8  0 
million  a  year. 

I  would  like  to  pursue  this  one  group  of  products  through  to  a 
conclusion  because  it  highlights  a  very  pertinent  point  .  .  .  THE 
VALUE  OF  THE  DETAILMAN  AND  THE  MANUFACTURER  TO 
THE  RETAIL  PHARMACISTS  OF  THE  UNITED  STATES. 

In  early  19  40  many  of  the  nationally  advertised  brand  com¬ 
panies  decided  that  the  vitamin  field  offered  a  very  lucrative  market. 
In  1942  they  spent  150%  of  their  net  sales  -dollar  in  promotion  and 
for  sale  over  the  counter.  They  used  radio,  newspapers  and  lay 
journal  space  heavily.  Actually  it  amounted  to  100%  of  their  sales 
dollar.  In  19  41  they  had  16%  of  the  total  volume  of  the  business. 
In  19  41  they  spent  150%  of  their  net  sales  dollar  in  promotion  and 
at  the  end  of  the  year  ended  up  with  less  than  11%  of  the  business. 

The  Curtis  Publishing  Company,  publishers  of  Saturday  Eve¬ 
ning  Post,  Ladies  Home  Journal  and  other  magazines,  have  a  very 
efficient  Research  Department.  Since  they  had  thousands  of  dollars 
worth  of  space  cancelled  on  them,  they  decided  to  do  a  research  study 
to  determine  from  what  source  a  person  was  influenced  to  start 
taking  vitamins.  They  sent  a  group  of  investigators  out  into  Ohio 
and  Indiana  who  interviewed  better  than  3000  individuals.  For 
purposes  of  the  study  they  considered  a  vitamin  user  one  who  had 
been  taking  vitamins  for  six  months  or  more. 

The  question  that  interested  them  most  was:  “What  suggested 
or  who  influenced  you  to  take  vitamins?”  The  study  disclosed  that 
approximately  47%  of  this  group  started  taking  vitamins  on  direct 
prescription  or  recommendation  of  their  physician.  That  another 
20%  were  influenced  by  the  doctor’s  indirect  recommendation.  The 
radio  lay  advertising  and  other  media  made  up  the  balance. 

We  may  never  again  have  the  opportunity  to  prove  so  con¬ 
clusively  the  value  of  the  detail  man  selling  in  a  doctor’s  office. 

During  this  same  period  such  lines  as  the  endocrines  were 
developed.  During  the  last  20  years  research  has  isolated  specific 
hormones  which  have  oecome  tremendous  sellers  in  the  last  10 
years.  Today  this  group  of  products  amounts  to  better  than  $100 
million  a  year.  You  are  all  familiar  with  the  introduction  of  sulfoni- 
mides,  antibiotics  and  we  have  seen  the  development  of  Cortisone 
and  the  ACTH  groups.  It  is  safe  to  say  that  this  field  has  only  just 
been  scratched.  You  are  also  familiar  with  the  first  anti-pneumococcic 
serum,  developed  right  in  your  City  of  Baltimore.

Research  workers  in  the  ethical  drug  industry  have  placed  in 
the  hands  of  the  medical  profession  tools  to  increase  the  span  of  life 
from  approximately  50  years  to  70.  New  evidence  points  to  another 
5  year  increase — 75.  Gentlemen,  I  should  like  to  pay  tribute  to  the 
research  workers  who  have  done  so  much  for  the  national  health 
.  .  .  provided  products  for  the  industry  to  sell  on  which  all  of  us  can 
make  a  profit.  It  is  people  over  50  years  of  age  who  use  medicines. 
Probably  every  yeaf  added  to  life  expectancy  means  millions  of 
dollars  to  our  industry. 

Why  is  the  ethical  drug  industry  so  important  to  you?  Yes  .  .  . 
it  is  only  part  of  your  store.  It  is  .the  prescription  part  of  your 
business,  but  it  is  the  only  part  of  your  business  in  which  you  have 
not  .  .  .  or  cannot  .  .  have  competition.  In  your  soda  fountain  you 

compete  with  everyone.  Your  camera,  cosmetic  departments  com¬ 
pete  with  the  specialty  stores,  department  stores  and  other  mer¬ 
chandising  outlets.  On  national  brand  advertised  medicines  you  feel 
the  actual  competition  of  the  grocery  store.  Items,  promoted  by  the 
ethical  drug  industry,  are  the  only  products  in  your  pharmacy  in 
which  you,  and  you  alone,  control  the  final  sale.  Therefore,  in  my 
opinion,  I  believe  that  it  is  most  important  that  we  analyze  the  facts 
which  produce  these  sales  for  you. 

The  overall  sales  growth  in  the  retail  drug  outlets  of  the 
country  has  levelled  off  during  the  last  two  or  three  years  after  a 
very  rapid  up-surge  from  19  39.  This  is  not  true  of  the  prescription 
department.  The  upward  trend  is  still  in  progress  and  it  becomes 
quite  clear  from  figures  already  available  that  the  total  prescription 
business  in  the  United  States  during  this  year  will  amount  to  approxi¬ 
mately  $750  million  .  .  .  this  business  to  be  divided  among  the 
52,000  retail  drug  outlets  in  the  United  States.  I  do  not  believe 
there  is  any  man  in  this  room  who  will  deny  the  fact  that  it  is  his 
prescription  business  that  is  the  profit  department  of  his  store. 

A  few  moments  ago  I  made  the  point  that  one  of  the  responsi¬ 
bilities  of  the  manufacturer  was  to  create  consumer  demand  for  his 
goods.  Many  of  you  are  impressed  with  the  salesman  who  comes  into 
your  store  backed  with  big  radio  programs,  huge  advertising  appro¬ 
priations  in  lay  journals.  Yon  hear  and  see  this  promotion  via  radio 
and  television  and,  without  question,  it  is  very  impressive.  However, 
a  great  share  of  you  discount  the  tremendous  promotional  program 
that  goes  on  each  afternoon  in  the  doctor’s  office. 

In  the  ethical  drug  industry  today  there  are  approximately 
10,000  detailmen.  To  be  practical  we’ll  discount  3000  of  these. 
Therefore,  let  us  consider  that  there  are  7000  men  devoting  300 
afternoons  during  the  year  to  creating  prescriptions  for  you.  We 
know  by  experience  the  average  cost  of  a  call  by  a  detailman  on  a 
doctor  is  approximately  $6.00  and  again,  by  experience,  that  the 
detailman  will  average  about  five  doctor  calls  per  afternoon. 


The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST 


96 


I  submit  these  startling  conclusions: 

1.  7,000  detailmen  call  on  5  doctors  each  afternoon.  There¬ 
fore,  3  5,000  doctors  are  seen  every  afternoon. 

2.  It  costs  the  manufacturer  $6.00  per  call.  Therefore,  every 
afternoon  it  costs  the  manufacturer  $210,000  to  detail 
physicians. 

3.  At  this  rate  it  costs  manufacturers  $63,000,000  for  300 
afternoons’  detailing. 

4.  To  this  figure  add  $25,000,000  for  medical  advertising. 

5.  And  another  $25,000,000  for  samples  and  booklets. 

Add  those  various  figures  together  and  you  reach  the  astound¬ 
ing  figure  of  $113,000,000  which  is  the  approximate  cost  of  a  mini¬ 
mum  promotion  program  that  drug  manufacturers  spend  to  create 
prescription  business  for  the  52,000  drug  stores  of  the  United  States. 
I  repeat  again:  $113,000,000  is  the  minimum  amount  spent  annually 
by  ethical  pharmaceutical  manufacturers  in  your  behalf. 

Now  to  this  must  be  added  another  figure.  It  has  been  estimated 
by  Dr.  Fishbein  that  medical  research  carried  on  by  the  ethical  drug 
industry  amounts  to  more  than  $60  million  a  year.  To  that  must 
be  added  another  $25  million  for  clinical  investigation  and  product 
evaluation.  Conservatively,  therefore,  $85  million  is  spent  by  the 
industry  per  year  in  developing  and  investigating  new  products. 

In  my  opinion,  gentlemen,  this  detailman  who  calls  on  you  is 
the  most  important  salesman  with  whom  you  consult.  You  cannot 
afford  to  lose  those  prescriptions  by  not  having  stock.  You  must  know 
what  is  being  promoted  in  doctors’  offices,  particularly  if  you  are 
going  to  give  the  doctor’s  patient  the  service  that  makes  profit  for 
you.  Unfortunately,  retail  druggists  throughout  the  United  States 
have  developed  a  peculiar  attitude  toward  salesmen,  one  which  is 
unlike  the  attitude  which  greets  salesmen  in  almost  every  other 
industry 

This  detailman  makes  money  for  you.  You  need  him  if  your 
business  is  to  prosper.  There  is  no  corner  on  the  market  between 
the  large  and  the  small  companies  in  this  industry.  No  one  major 
house  can  service  your  store  because  this  is  a  business  of  specialties 
today.  An  ethical  drug  item,  stocked  in  your  store,  must  be  moved 
off  your  shelves  by  a  detail  in  a  doctor’s  office.  We  know  that  90% 
of  the  sales  created  in  this  industry  are  by  the  men  and  not  through 
medical  journal  advertising  or  direct  mail. 

Many  druggists  are  very  inept  in  their  handling  of  this  man. 
In  many  instances  he  is  greeted  ungraciously  and  in  many  instances 
practically  ignored.  The  results  are  that  this  man  .  .  .  this  detail  man 
.  .  .  who  is  creating  profits  for  you  loses  interest  in  his  work  as  a

result  of  your  treatment,  hence,  his  work  in  the  doctor’s  office  goes 
way  below  par. 

Many  attempts  at  substitution  are  made  by  retailers  throughout 
the  country.  As  in  many  other  industries  we  have  parasitic  manu¬ 
facturers  who  want  somebody  else  to  do  their  promotion.  They  go 
in  to  you  at  the  point-of-sale  and  offer  the  “identical”  product,  as 
they  tell  you,  at  10%  or  15%  less.  They  ask  for  .  .  .  and  in 
many  instances  receive  .  .  .  cooperation  from  pharmacists  to  substi¬ 
tute  their  product  in  a  prescription  in  place  of  an  ethical  product 
where  real  money  has  been  spent  to  create  that  prescription  for  you. 

The  retailers  throughout  the  country  are  prone  to  ask,  “What’s 
the  discount?”  without  first  realizing  that  the  first  question  should 
be,  “What  is  the  promotion?  What  are  you  going  to  do  to  move 
these  goods  off  my  shelves?”  The  druggist  assumes  no  responsibility 
in  moving  a  manufacturer’s  item  off  his  shelf.  He’s  not  equipped  to  do 
the  promotion,  as  you  know  from  experience.  If  you  would  analyze 
your  cost  when  you  might  attempt  to  do  such  a  thing,  you  would  find 
it  way  out  of  proportion  to  the  additional  discount  that  has  been 
offered. 

Promotion  and  the  research  carried  on  by  the  industry  will 
continue  the  upward  trend  in  the  ethical  drug  industry.  Those  de- 
tailmen  who  are  working  for  you,  and  will  continue  working  for 
you,  at  no  salary  to  you  probably  have  one  of  the  most  difficult 
selling  jobs  that  exists  in  the  United  States. 

Detailmen  are  consumer-producing  salesmen  .  .  .  not  point-of- 
sale  salesman.  A  point-of-sales  salesman’s  only  responsibility  is  to 
see  that  merchandise  is  on  display  at  the  point-of-sale  in  order  to 
tie  in  with  the  radio,  magazine  advertising  which  is  directed  to 
produce  consumer  demand.  The  ethical  drug  salesman  must  put  his 
stock  in  your  store.  He,  then,  must  detail  the  physician  so  that  a 
prescription  is  produced  and  the  consumer  is  handed  the  prescrip¬ 
tion  to  come  to  your  store  to  have  it  filled  .  .  .  YOU  HAVE  NO 
COMPETITION  IN  THIS  DEPARTMENT  OF  YOUR  STORE! 

Gentlemen,  the  distribution  practices  in  this  industry  are  out¬ 
moded.  These  antiquated  systems  cost  you  and  the  manufacturers 
in  this  industry  millions  of  dollars  a  year.  The  fault  lies  with  all  of 
us:  the  manufacturer,  the  retail  druggist,  and  the  wholesaler. 

We  do  things  in  this  industry  that  are  not  done  in  any  other 
existing  industry.  Free  goods  pay  you  additional  profits  in  other 
lines  of  goods.  From  our  own  manufacturing  standpoint,  we  are  not 
honest  with  you.  There  are  only  two  companies  today  in  the  entire 
industry  that  have  a  price  list  that  is  honest.  There  are  5%  accounts, 
10%  accounts  and  there  are  15%  accounts.  How  they  can  be  justified 
under  the  Robinson-Patman,  I  do  not  understand. 

One  thing  that  is  most  important  to  you  and  which  you  and 
your  organizations  throughout  the  country  should  demand  ...  is

The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST 


an  honest  price  list.  But  you  have  many  in  your  organization  who 
will  oppose  that.  They  are  the  so-called  “bigs”  who  believe  that 
they  should  have  an  extra  5%,  10%  and  15%.  This  is  what  makes 
for  unfair  competition  within  an  area  and  makes  it  most  difficult 
for  other  manufacturers  to  price  equitably  against  them. 

This  is  part  of  the  1920-1925  distribution  plan  and  has  never 
been  corrected.  In  the  days  of  the  thirties  “free  goods”  got  started. 
The  competitives  were  all  the  same  so,  when  things  got  rough,  sales¬ 
men  began  offering  an  extra  gallon  with  5  or  an  extra  1,000  with 
10,000  tablets.  We  are  still  continuing  that  practice  today. 

One  of  the  best  solutions  to  the  distribution  problems  of  this 
industry  would  be  the  elimination  of  so-called  inside  discounts, 
volume  purchase  contracts  and  the  like,  and  a  very  strict  adherence 
on  the  part  of  you,  as  individuals,  to  eliminate  the  vicious  practice 
of  attempting  to  buy  business  rather  than  promote  it  in  the  doctor’s 
office. 

The  salesman  who  comes  in  to  you  and  offers  you  merchandise 
and  then  says,  “I  will  give  you  so  much  free”  in  order  that  you  will 
substitute  his  product  against  the  ethical  company  who  causes 
prescriptions  to  come  into  your  store,  should  be  resented.  Your 
answer  should  be  to  him,  “I  will  furnish  your  merchandise  only  when 
it  is  prescribed  by  the  physician.” 

We  again  have  another  tremendous  problem  in  this  industry. 
Within  the  last  20  years  the  growth  of  injectables  has  been  great. 
From  a  $5  million  a  year  business  in  1931  this  business  will  probably 
amount  to  better  than  $200  million  this  year.  When  in  19  3  0  we 
had  almost  nothing  other  than  biologicals  in  injectable  form,  we 
now  have  the  vitamin,  the  antibiotics  and  many  other  preparations. 
Unfortunately  again,  referring  to  past  practice,  you  must  realize  that 
this  business  was  relatively  small  and  you  felt  that  you  could  give 
this  merchandise  to  the  physician  at  cost  for  good  will  that  might 
return  to  you  in  the  form  of  a  prescription. 

This  might  have  been  all  right  when  the  volume  was  small  but 
our  business  has  now  grown  to  a  point  where  it  becomes  serious 
threat.  A  recent  survey  conducted  by  Wyeth  reveals  that  the  total 
gross  profit  is  less  than  14%  through  your  stores  on  this  class  of 
merchandise.  There  are  hundreds  of  retailers  across  the  country 
that  are  still  giving  this  merchandise  to  the  physician  at  invoice 
cost.  I  don’t  believe  that  any  of  you  will  deny  that  you  can  turn  the 
key  in  any  drug  store  in  the  United  States  without  a  fixed  operating 
expense,  the  minimum  being  between  27%  and  running  up  as  high 
at  32%  and  33%.  Therefore,  you  are  not  giving  this  merchandise  at 
cost  when  you  give  it  to  him  at  your  invoice  price  .  .  .  you  are  giving  it 
to  him  at  a  loss  of  anywhere  from  27%  to  33%  on  every  dollar’s 
worth  of  sales.

When  and  how  this  problem  is  going  to  be  solved  is  a  most 
difficult  question  to  answer.  The  manufacturer  is  caught  in  a  very 
bad  squeeze.  In  order  to  correct  the  situation  we  have  given  10% 
for  handling  charges,  we  have  added  an  extra  15%.  It  is  a  relatively 
short  time  when  the  price  to  the  doctor  is  again  back  to  the  net. 

The  industry  has  developed  Surgical  Supply  Houses  who  have 
entered  this  field  and  are  a  major  seller  in  it,  again  hoping  to  sell 
somebody  bandages,  instruments  for  their  office  by  selling  injectables 
below  cost.  Many  manufacturers  have  classified  Surgical  Supply 
Houses  as  wholesalers  of  this  class  of  merchandise.  Although  we 
suffer  for  it,  we  have  refused  to  accept  a  surgical  supply  house  as  a 
wholesaler  since  we  cannot,  under  any  condition,  classify  a  physician 
as  a  retail  outlet.  He  is  a  consumer,  and  there  is  no  question  but 
what  the  surgical  supply  houses  have  ruined  the  profit  situation  for 
you  because  they  have  sold  physicians  at  the  trade  level.  If  this  con¬ 
dition  continues  to  persist,  it  may  become  essential  for  the  manufac¬ 
turer  to  sell  the  physician  this  class  of  merchandise  direct. 

I  am  being  frank  with  you  .  .  .  there  is  no  question  but  what 
this  is  coming  up  before  many  houses  at  this  time.  How  to  correct 
it  is  most  difficult,  however,  before  I  leave  this  platform  I  hope 
to  offer  a  solution  for  your  consideration. 

There  is  no  major  industry  in  the  United  States  with  less 
understanding  among  the  manufacturer,  wholesaler  and  retailer 
than  the  ethical  drug  industry.  The  ethical  drug  industry  in  phar¬ 
maceutical  circles  is  large  enough  to  be  looked  upon  as  an  indepen¬ 
dent  industry.  Its  importance  to  you  is  so  great  that  it  just  cannot  be 
compared  with  other  departments  in  your  store. 

I  do  not  believe  that  this  problem  is  going  to  be  solved  on  the 
floor  of  any  state  convention  nor  on  the  floor  of  any  national  con¬ 
vention.  In  my  opinion  it  is  only  going  to  be  solved  by  a  representa¬ 
tive  group  of  carefully  selected  men  representing  the  manufacturer, 
representing  the  wholesaler  and  representing  the  retail  pharmacist, 
who  can  sit  down  around  a  table  to  discuss  these  practices  which 
are  doing  harm  to  the  industry.  They  should  be  brought  out  in  the 
open  where  sound  recommendations  can  be  made  with  the  hope  that 
they  will  be  adopted.  Gentlemen,  in  my  opinion,  until  an  intra-in¬ 
dustry  relationship  committee  is  established  the  problems  that  con¬ 
front  us  at  this  moment  can  never  be  solved. 

In  closing  I  would  like  to  again  pay  tribute  to  those  ethical  drug 
salesmen  who  are  working  for  you  each  afternoon,  and  I  wish  that 
each  and  everyone  of  you  would  take  seriously  my  remarks  per¬ 
taining  to  the  proper  handling  of  them  so  that  they  can  do  a  better 
job  for  us  all. 

Gentlemen,  you  know  there  are  not  many  of  us  .  .  .  manufac¬ 
turers,  wholesalers  or  retailers  .  .  .  who  ever  dreamed  15  or  20

years  ago  that  we  would  have  such  a  mighty  fine  business  as  we 
have  today.  Let’s  protect  it,  because  it  is  going  to  double,  Gentlemen, 
in  the  next  10  years. 

I  thank  you! 

Mr.  Waples:  I  am  sure  we  have  all  gotten  something  out  of  Mr. 
Smith’s  talk. 

Mr.  Waples:  We  will  now  have  a  report  on  the  School  of 
Pharmacy  by  Mr.  Harry  S.  Harrison. 

REPORT  OP  THE  COMMITTEE  OF  THE  MARYLAND  PHARMACEUTICAL 
ASSOCIATION  ON  THE  SCHOOL  OF  PHARMACY,  UNIVERSITY  OF  MD. 

Harry  S.  Harrison,  Chairman 

The  committee  of  the  Maryland  Pharmaceutical  Association  on 
the  School  of  Pharmacy  of  the  University  of  Maryland  held  one 
meeting  since  the  last  convention.  The  meeting  was  held  at  the 
School  of  Pharmacy  to  enable  the  members  of  the  committee  to 
inspect  the  improvements  which  had  been  made  during  the  past  year 
as  well  as  to  review  the  needs  of  the  School  for  the  future. 

Enrollment 

The  freshman  class  this  past  year  was  again  limited  to  a  total 
of  seventy-five  students  in  conformance  with  the  agreement  reached 
between  the  Maryland  Pharmaceutical  Association  and  the  Univer¬ 
sity  in  the  Summer  of  1947.  The  total  enrollment  decreased  from  327 
in  1949-50  to  297  in  1950-51.  This  decrease  was  largely  a  result 
of  the  decrease  in  the  senior  class  from  77  to  6  6.  The  enrollment  at 
the  beginning  of  the  second  semester  of  the  1950-51  session  by 


classes  was  as  follows: 

Freshmen  .  80 

Sophomores .  60 

Juniors  .  62 

Seniors . 66 

Graduate  Students  ....  29 


Total  .  297 


Fifty-Six,  or  20.8%  of  the  undergraduate  enrollment  were 
veterans.  This  year  is  probably  the  last  year  that  the  School  will 
have  an  appreciable  number  of  veterans  since  there  has  been  a 
steady  decrease  in  the  number  of  veterans  enrolling  in  the  freshman 
class  for  the  past  two  years.  The  number  of  veterans  enrolling  in 
the  freshman  class  will  be  almost  nil  since  all  veterans  planning  to 
take  advantage  of  the  G.  I.  Bill  of  Rights  must  be  enrolled  in  the 
course  which  they  plan  to  take  not  later  than  July  25,  1951.  As  all 


The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST 


101 


of  you  know,  the  School  accepts  new  students  only  once  a  year, 
namely,  in  September  or  the  Fall  Term.  It  is  interesting  to  note  that 
the  total  enrollment  of  girls  in  1950-51  was  the  largest  that  has 
ever  been  enjoyed  by  the  School  of  Pharmacy. 

Approximately  92  applications  have  been  received  for  admis¬ 
sion  to  the  School  of  Pharmacy  in  the  Fall  of  19  51.  About  seventy 
of  these  applicants  have  met  the  minimum  requirements  for  en¬ 
trance  to  the  University  and  have  been  considered  for  admission  by 
the  School  of  Pharmacy.  Applications  for  admission  will  be  consid¬ 
ered  for  another  several  weeks  to  enable  those  students  who  com¬ 
pleted  high  school  in  the  latter  part  of  June  to  apply  to  the  School 
of  Pharmacy.  Since  the  number  of  applicants  again  exceeds  the 
number  of  students  that  can  be  accommodated  by  the  School,  namely 
75,  the  School  will  again  select  students  on  the  basis  of  the  admis¬ 
sion  program  that  has  been  followed  for  the  past  two  years,  namely, 
scholastic  attainment,  intelligence  tests,  interviews,  recommenda¬ 
tions,  etc. 

Although  the  School  of  Pharmacy  is  again  giving  preferential 
consideration  to  applicants  from  the  State  of  Maryland,  the  School  is 
also  considering  superior  applicants  from  other  states  for  enroll¬ 
ment  in  September  1951.  In  1950,  over  90%  of  the  entering  class 
were  residents  of  the  State  of  Maryland. 

Faculty,  Curriculum  and  Instruction 

As  most  of  you  know,  Dr.  Clifford  W.  Chapman,  the  Emerson 
Professor  of  Pharmacology  and  Head  of  the  Department,  passed 
away  on  April  5,  1951.  His  passing  away  was  a  severe  loss  to  the 
department,  the  School,  the  University  and  the  profession  of  pharm¬ 
acy.  Fortunately,  his  assistants  were  able  to  carry  on  for  the  bal¬ 
ance  of  the  year  in  a  very  commendable  manner,  and  at  the  present 
time  the  School  is  considering  a  replacement  for  Dr.  Chapman  and 
hopes  to  be  able  to  make  an  announcement  very  shortly. 

Dr.  Frank  J.  Slama,  Professor  of  Botany  and  Pharmacognosy 
and  Head  of  the  Department,  was  on  sabbatical  leave  this  past  year 
while  taking  advanced  work  in  the  Biological  sciences  at  Ohio  State 
University.  Dr.  Slama  was  especially  interested  in  entomology,  in¬ 
secticides,  fungicides,  rodenticides,  and  in  veterinary  pharmacology 
and  had  an  excellent  year  at  Ohio.  The  School  is  delighted  to  have 
him  return  for  the  summer  and  it  is  anticipated  that  he  will  offer 
some  new  course  this  coming  year. 

The  changes  which  were  initiated  in  the  curriculum  last  year 
will  be  finally  consummated  this  coming  year.  In  addition  to  offer¬ 
ing  a  better  balance  of  courses,  the.  seniors  will  be  permitted  to  elect 
a  course  in  Pesticides  during  the  second  semester.

Graduate  Work 

Although  the  total  enrollment  decreased  from  33  in  19  49-50 
to  2  9  in  1950-51,  the  School  was  proud  to  have  three  students  re¬ 
ceive  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Philosophy  and  two  students  receive 
the  Master  of  Science  degree  through  the  facilities  of  the  School  of 
Pharmacy.  The  applicants  for  admission  to  the  Graduate  School 
continue  to  exceed  the  capacity  of  the  school  for  graduate  students. 
In  view  of  the  present  urgent  need  for  persons  qualified  to  teach 
pharmacy  and  allied  subjects  and  the  insistent  demand  by  industry 
for  personnel  trained  in  pharmacy  to  undertake  research  and  pro¬ 
duction  duties,  it  would  appear  prudent  for  the  School  of  Pharmacy 
not  only  to  continue  its  graduate  program,  but  to  expand  the  pro¬ 
gram  at  the  earliest  possible  date. 

Physical  Plan'?  improvemen? 

During  the  Summer  and  Fall  of  1950  a  new  Dispensing  Labora¬ 
tory  was  installed  on  the  fourth  floor  and  the  Pharmacology  Labora¬ 
tory  on  the  fifth  floor  was  renovated.  In  addition,  the  redecorating 
program  initiated  in  the  previous  year  was  continued,  and  it  is 
anticipated  that  the  entire  school  will  have  been  redecorated  by  the 
end  of  the  Summer  of  1951. 

Needs  Of  The  School  Of  Pharmacy 

Although  plans  are  under  way  to  more  completely  utilize  the 
space  which  is  available,  additional  plant  facilities  will  be  neces¬ 
sary  in  the  very  near  future  to  properly  accommodate  the  future 
needs  of  the  school,  including  classrooms,  laboratories  and  space  for 
research.  This  past  year  the  pharmacy  laboratory  was  occupied  by 
classes  during  90%  of  the  time  that  school  was  in  session.  This  is 
entirely  too  high  an  occupancy  for  any  laboratory  since  it  was  not 
possible  to  keep  the  laboratory  properly  cleaned  nor  the  stock  of 
chemicals  and  drugs  at  adequate  levels.  We  must  give  serious  con¬ 
sideration  to  supporting  requests  for  more  space  or  a  new  building 
for  the  School  of  Pharmacy  at  an  early  date.

My  resolutions  are  very  short  and  should  not  take  very  long 
to  read  them  to  you  and  present  them  to  you. 

REPORT  OF  THE  COMMITTEE  ON  RESOLUTIONS 
Dr.  Noel  E.  Foss,  Chairman 

1.  RESOLVED,  by  the  Maryland  Pharmaceutical  Association, 
in  annual  convention  assembled,  that  it  call  upon  all  retail  pharma¬ 
cists  in  the  state  to  write  personal  letters  to  their  United  States  Sen¬ 
ators  and  Congressmen,  expressing  shock,  dismay  and  apprehension 
at  the  action  of  the  United  States  Supreme  Court  in  invalidating  the 
non-signed  clause  in  state  fair  trade  laws;  and  that  it  vigorously 
request  all  members  of  the  Maryland  delegation  in  Congress  to 
support  actively  an  amendment  to  the  anti-trust  laws  which  will 
fully  exempt  the  provision  of  the  state  fair  trade  laws,  including  the 
non-signed  section,  from  the  jurisdiction  of  the  federal  anti-trust 
laws. 

2.  RESOLVED,  by  the  Maryland  Pharmaceutical  Association, 
in  annual  convention  assembled,  that  it  call  upon  retail  pharmacists 
to  recognize  the  significance  of  their  stores  to  pharmacy’s  standing 
■with  the  public,  and  that  through  the  maintenance  of  rigid  standards 
of  cleanliness  and  good  housekeeping,  they  make  their  stores  instru¬ 
mentalities  for  bettering  pharmacy’s  relations  with  the  public. 

3.  RESOLVED,  by  the  Maryland  Pharmaceutical  Association, 
in  annual  convention  assembled,  that  it  restate  its  belief  in  the  need 
for  an  adequate  and  far-reaching  civil  defense  program,  and  that  it 
pledge  to  the  proper  authorities  the  full  and  active  support  of  the 
pharmacists  in  the  state,  to  the  end  that  the  civil  defense  program 
may  be  given  every  aid  and  assistance  in  developing  the  pharma¬ 
ceutical  phases  of  this  emergency  activity. 

4.  RESOLVED,  by  the  Maryland  Pharmaceutical  Association, 
in  annual  convention  assembled,  that  it  express  its  conviction  that 
many  billions  of  dollars  are  being  needlessly  expended  in  useless 
activities  by  the  federal  government,  and  that  such  expenses  should 
be  drastically  reduced,  in  keeping  with  the  need  and  urgency  of  the 
times;  and 

BE  IT  FURTHER  RESOLVED,  that  copies  of  this  resolution  be 
sent  to  all  members  of  the  Maryland  delegation  in  Congress,  with  the 
request  that  they  take  an  active  interest  in  bringing  about  rigid 
economies  in  the  routine  non-defense  agencies  of  government. 

5.  RESOLVED,  by  the  Maryland  Pharmaceutical  Association, 
in  annual  convention  assembled,  that  pharmacists  be  cautioned  to 
make  a  searching  study  of  their  prescription  prices  so  that  these 


The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST 


10k 

may  be  sufficient  to  cover  all  costs,  and  at  the  same  time  render  the 
pharmacist  suitable  remuneration  for  his  professional  services;  and 

BE  IT  FURTHER  RESOLVED,  that  the  School  of  Pharmacy 
of  the  University  of  Maryland,  working  in  collaboration  with  the 
officers  and  members  of  the  executive  committee  of  this  Association, 
study  the  feasibility  of  conducting  a  prescription  price  clinic,  so 
that  this  highly  important  phase  of  drug  store  operation  may  be  more 
fully  explored  and  more  intelligently  understood. 

6.  RESOLVED,  by  the  Maryland  Pharmaceutical  Association, 
in  annual  convention  assembled,  that  it  urge  pharmacists  to  study 
competitive  conditions  in  their  own  areas,  with  special  reference  to 
the  nature  and  extent  of  the  sale  of  drug  store  merchandise  in  non¬ 
drug  outlets,  so  that  they  may  develop  more  efficient  sales  methods 
and  do  a  more  productive  merchandising  job  than  is  being  done  in 
such  non-drug  outlets. 

7.  RESOLVED,  by  the  Maryland  Pharmaceutical  Association, 
in  annual  convention  assembled,  that  it  call  upon  the  Office  of  Price 
Stabilization,  and  all  other  governmental  agencies  concerned  with 
the  war  mobilization  program,  to  take  steps  which  will  assure  that 
their  orders  and  regulations  affecting  the  production  and  distribution 
of  drugs  and  allied  products,  be  written  in  clear  and  concise  language 
so  that  they  may  be  readily  understood  by  the  dealers  and  distrib¬ 
utors  who  must  bear  the  burden  of  putting  such  orders  and  regula¬ 
tions  into  effective  operation;  and 

BE  IT  FURTHER  RESOLVED,  that  a  copy  of  this  resolution 
be  sent  to  each  member  of  the  Maryland  delegation  in  Congress. 

8.  RESOLVED,  by  the  Maryland  Pharmaceutical  Association, 
in  annual  convention  assembled,  that  it  rededicate  itself  to  the 
policy  of  seeking  the  best  professional  relations  with  medicine  and 
the  other  health  care  professions,  and  that  it  again  pledge  its  full 
and  active  co-operation  with  its  sister  professions  in  developing  a 
more  productive  interprofessional  relations  program. 

9.  RESOLVED,  by  the  Maryland  Pharmaceutical  Association, 
in  annual  convention  assembled,  that  it  urge  all  retailers  in  the 
state,  acting  in  their  individual  capacities,  to  hold  the  line  on  fair 
trade  products  so  that  they  may  continue  to  enjoy  the  benefits  from 
fair  trade  and  make  their  individual  contributions  to  a  sound  price 
structure  in  the  distribution  of  trade-marked  drug  store  com¬ 
modities. 


10.  RESOLVED,  by  the  Maryland  Pharmaceutical  Association, 
in  annual  convention  assembled,  that  it  vigorously  oppose  any  at¬ 
tempt  to  reduce  the  pharmacist’s  percentage  of  telephone  pay 


The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST 


105 


station  collections,  as  the  percentage  now  in  effect  cannot  be  reduced 
without  doing  great  injustice  to  pharmacists  who  provide  the  place 
for  pay  station  installations;  and 

BE  IT  FURTHER  RESOLVED,  that  a  copy  of  this  resolution 
be  sent  to  the  Chesapeake  and  Potomac  Telephone  Company,  and 
to  the  members  of  the  Maryland  Public  Service  Commission. 

11.  RESOLVED,  by  the  Maryland  Pharmaceutical  Association, 
in  annual  convention  assembled,  that  the  pharmacists  of  the  state, 
in  the  conduct  of  their  retail  stores,  take  pains  to  emphasize  and 
make  stand  out  the  three  basic  departments,  i.e.,  (1)  the  prescrip¬ 
tion  and  prescription  accessories  department,  (2)  drugs  and  medi¬ 
cines  department,  and  (3)  first  aid  supplies  and  related  items  de¬ 
partment  so  that  from  the  impact  of  these  departments  the  drug 
store  may  be  looked  upon  by  the  public  as  a  professionally  conducted 
health  service  institution. 

12.  RESOLVED,  by  the  Maryland  Pharmaceutical  Association, 
in  annual  convention  assembled,  that  the  executive  committee  again 
be  asked  to  study  ways  and  means  for  publicizing  the  monthly  radio 
broadcasts  over  station  WFBR,  so  that  the  public  may  be  notified 
in  advance  of  the  subject  matter  of  these  broadcasts,  as  each  of 
these  will  deal  with  timely  and  informative  developments  of  various 
health  care  activities. 

13.  RESOLVED,  by  the  Maryland  Pharmaceutical  Association, 
in  annual  convention  assembled,  that  it  express  its  sincere  apprecia¬ 
tion  to  the  management  of  the  Commander  Hotel  for  its  hospitality, 
splendid  accommodations,  including  the  excellent  dining  facilities, 
and  the  comfort  accorded  the  members  and  guests  of  the  Association; 
and 

BE  IT  FURTHER  RESOLVED,  that  Mr.  John  B.  Lynch,  the 
manager  of  the  Commander  Hotel,  be  personally  commended  for 
his  efforts  to  make  all  of  us  feel  perfectly  at  home  and  our  visit  to 
Ocean  City  most  enjoyable,  and  one  that  will  be  long  remembered. 

14.  WHEREAS,  the  T.  A.  M.  P.  A.  has  carried  out  its  usual 
well  arranged  program,  especially  the  entertainment  features,  in 
splendid  fashion;  and 

WHEREAS,  it  has  contributed  materially  in  making  this  con¬ 
vention  an  outstanding  one;  therefore 

BE  IT  RESOLVED,  that  the  Maryland  Pharmaceutical  Associa¬ 
tion  express  its  deep  appreciation  to  the  President,  Secretary  and 
officers  of  the  T.  A.  M.  P.  A.  for  their  wholehearted  co-operation. 

15.  RESOLVED,  that  the  Maryland  Pharmaceutical  Associa¬ 
tion  express  its  gratitude  to  all  manufacturers,  wholesalers,  and 
many  others  whose  assistance  both  financially  and  morally  contrib-

uted  enormously  in  helping  to  make  this  convention  pleasant,  in¬ 
formative,  interesting  and  enjoyable. 

16.  RESOLVED,  that  the  Maryland  Pharmaceutical  Association 
thank  the  Baltimore  Sun,  Baltimore  Evening  Sun  and  Baltimore 
News-Post  for  publicity  during  the  convention  held  at  Ocean  City 
and  for  their  efforts  at  all  times  to  keep  the  public  informed  of 
pharmacy’s  many  contributions  to,  and  interest  in,  the  welfare  of 
the  public. 

17.  RESOLVED,  by  the  Maryland  Pharmaceutical  Association, 
in  annual  convention  assembled,  that  it  disapproves  of  the  delay  in 
obtaining  a  clarification  of  the  prerogatives  of  the  retail  pharmacist 
pertaining  to  the  refilling  of  prescriptions  and  the  distribution  of 
some  “so-called”  legend  drugs;  and 

BE  IT  FURTHER  RESOLVED,  that  it  recommends  that  the 
American  Pharmaceutical  Association  and  the  National  Association 
of  Retail  Druggists  take  immediate  steps  to  correct  this  situation. 

18.  RESOLVED,  by  the  Maryland  Pharmaceutical  Association,

of  dangerous  drugs  should  be  at  the  State  level,  and 

BE  IT  FURTHER  RESOLVED,  that  the  Association  approve  of 
legislation,  sponsored  by  the  Maryland  State  Health  Department, 
to  control  the  sale  and  distribution  of  drugs  deemed  dangerous  to 
health  when  used  promiscuously  for  self  medication. 

19.  WHEREAS,  Mr.  Herbert  Levy,  Counsel  for  the  Maryland 
Pharmaceutical  Association,  has  since  the  enactment  of  the  Miller- 
Tydings  Amendment  rendered  invaluable  service  in  the  Fair  Trade 
Movement,  and 

WHEREAS,  he  has  fully  and  wholeheartedly  given  counsel  to 
our  group  without  financial  remuneration  on  many  legal  questions 
that  have  come  up  relative  to  Fair  Trade,  and 

WHEREAS,  his  brilliant  legal  mind  was  so  ably  demonstrated 
by  the  unanimous  decision  in  the  Maryland  Court  of  Appeals  (Mead- 
Johnson  vs.  Goldsmith),  therefore 

BE  IT  RESOLVED,  that  the  Maryland  Pharmaceutical  Asso¬ 
ciation  urge  the  National  Association  of  Retail  Druggists  to  give 
serious  consideration  in  seeking  the  advice  and  counsel  of  Mr. 
Herbert  Levy  before  making  a  final  decision  relative  to  amending  the 
Miller-Tydings  Act. 

20.  RESOLVED,  by  the  Maryland  Pharmaceutical  Association, 
in  annual  convention  assembled,  that  it  extend  a  vote  of  thanks  to

necessary  for  the  Association  to  vacate  the  former  headquarters  at

a  copy  of  this  resolution  to  President  Roberts  of  Henry  B.  Gilpin 
Company. 

21.  RESOLVED,  by  the  Maryland  Pharmaceutical  Association, 
in  annual  convention  assembled,  that  it  express  its  appreciation  to 
Dr.  Robert  H.  Riley,  Director  of  the  Maryland  State  Department  of 
Health,  for  his  wholehearted  cooperation  in  establishing  a  separate 
Division  of  Drug  Control  in  the  State  Department  of  Health  reor¬ 
ganization  plan,  and  further,  that  it  extend  its  appreciation  for  the 
generous  interest  and  support  he  has  continuously  given  to  the 
pharmacy  profession,  and  that  the  Secretary  be  instructed  to  send 
a  copy  of  this  resolution  to  Dr.  Riley. 

22.  RESOLVED,  by  the  Maryland  Pharmaceutical  Association,

this  resolution  to  Dr.  Gordy. 

Mr.  Waples:  I  move  that  all  these  resolutions  be  adopted  and 
that  the  one  resolution,  that  of  Mr.  Levy,  be  referred  to  the  Execu¬ 
tive  Committee  for  further  action. 

Mr.  Waples:  You  have  heard  the  report  of  the  Resolution 
Committee  that  all  these  resolutions  be  adopted  except  the  one — 
No.  19 — which  should  be  referred  to  the  Executive  Committee  for 
further  action  on  the  N.A.R.D.  in  Mr.  Levy’s  situation.  What  is  your 
pleasure? 

In  the  absence  of  no  negative  vote  we  will  consider  them  as  being 
adopted. 

Mr.  M.  B.  Wagner:  Most  of  the  people  are  aware  that  the 
Resolution  Committee  have  a  hard  job  so  I  want,  at  this  time,  to 
make  a  motion  to  a  rising  vote  of  thanks  to  this  Committee. 

Motion  was  seconded  and  unanimously  carried. 

Mr.  M.  Strasburger:  The  Secretary  has  a  report  to  make  on 
the  Committee  of  nominations  this  morning. 

Mention  was  made  by  Dr.  Kantner  that  the  three  names  which 
were  to  be  presented  to  the  Governor  for  his  consideration  for  the 
vacancies  which  will  occur  on  the  Board  of  Pharmacy  this  coming 
year,  be  permitted  to  be  announced  later.  So  your  list  has  just  been 
sent  and  I  will  ask  the  consent  of  those  assembled  here  to  add  these 
names  to  the  list  which  I  have. 

The  names  asked  to  be  submitted  to  our  list  are: 

S.  E.  Webster,  who  is  a  present  member  of  the  board,  W.  H.

The  MARYLAND  PHARMACIST 


Dyott,  W.  W.  Seward  and  I  would  ask  that  a  motion  be  made  to 
have  these  names  in  the  report  which  was  sent  this  morning. 

Mr.  Waples:  In  the  absence  of  any  negative  votes,  we  will  in¬ 
clude  these  names  in  the  report  which  was  sent  this  morning. 

One  more  bit  of  business  before  this  afternoon’s  session.  Walter 
Albrecht  wishes  to  talk  to  us  about  the  price  of  prescriptions  for 
the  indigents. 

Mr.  Walter  Albrecht:  Mr.  President,  Fellow  Pharmacists: 

As  time  is  drawing  near  to  the  close  of  this  session  and  I  know 
you  are  all  very  anxious  to  partake  of  other  social  activities,  I  how¬ 
ever,  feel  it  my  duty  to  inform  you  of  the  activities  of  the  Council 
on  Medical  Care  of  the  City  and  State. 

I  told  you,  or  I  promised  you,  at  the  last  meeting  of  our  Asso¬ 
ciations  at  the  Elks  Club  that  I  would  have  some  interesting  infor¬ 
mation  for  you  at  this  Convention.  I  therefore  report  as  your  repre¬ 
sentative  on  the  Medical  Care  Council,  also  as  a  member  of  the 
Budget  Committee  of  this  Council. 

Chairman  Dr.  Allan  M.  Chesney  and  his  Committee  met  on 
June  13th,  after  spending  three  hours  of  careful  analysis  of  the  data 
presented  by  the  City  and  State  officials;  reported  its  findings  and 
presented  its  recommendations  to  the  Council  on  June  19th.  May  I 
state  that  the  Budget  Committee’s  report  was  accepted  by  regular 
action. 

The  Council  on  Medical  Care  recognized  the  necessity  for  an 
increase  in  pharmacy  mark-up,  therefore  the  county  Medical  Care’s 
program  appropriation  was  increased  for  the  fiscal  year  beginning 
July  1st  1951,  which  would  increase  the  cost  of  the  county  program 
by  approximately  $9,146.00.  It  was  estimated  that  the  proposed 
mark-up  in  the  pharmacy  fee  schedule  would  increase  the  cost  of 
the  Medical  Care  Program  in  the  City  in  the  amount  of  $6,084.00  for 
the  period  beginning  July  1st,  1951.  Mr.  Rittler,  representative  of 
the  Baltimore  City  Medical  Care  Program,  pointed  out  that  although 
the  city  program  has  an  increased  appropriation,  they  could  not 
meet  the  proposed  pharmacy  mark-up  for  1951-52  because  its  funds 
had  already  been  obligated.  This  caused  some  general  discussion. 

We  hope  that  the  City  Medical  Care  Program  will  have  a  suf¬ 
ficiently  increased  budget  for  195  2-53  to  take  care  of  the  pharmacy 
increased  cost  of  $6,084.00.

BANQUET 

The  annual  banquet,  a  fitting  climax  of  the  Sixty-Ninth  Con¬ 
vention  occurred  on  Thursday  evening  after  three  days  of  meetings, 
talking,  being  talked  at — it  was  a  wonderful  sense  of  relaxation  to 
join  at  our  several  tables,  to  enjoy  a  communal  meal  and  feel  that 
for  the  moment  all  the  work  and  thoughts  and  energies  spent  could 
be  laid  aside  for  the  time  being. 

All  present,  sensed  the  fact  that  the  work  accomplished  for  the 
Convention  had  been  well  planned  and  splendidly  executed.  The  re¬ 
ports  submitted  showed  excellent  preparation  and  were  well  received. 
With  all  these  facts  behind  us,  it  is  little  wonder  that  every  one  pres¬ 
ent  was  in  a  happy  frame  of  mind. 

The  cups  for  the  best  window  displays  during  the  National 
Pharmacy  Weeks  in  1949  and  1950  were  awarded  to  Stephen  J. 
Provenza  and  Bernard  Cherry.  According  to  annual  custom,  the  as¬ 
sociation  medal  to  our  retiring  president  was  presented  to  Howard 
L.  Gordy  by  Past  President  Frank  L.  Black. 

The  invocation,  preceding  the  dinner,  was  pronounced  by  Rev. 
Dr.  Hamilton  P.  Fox  of  Salisbury. 

Mr.  Harry  S.  Harrison,  the  dimunitive  dynamo  from  Hamilton 
was  toastmaster  for  the  evening  and  as  usual  carried  out  the  ar¬ 
rangements  in  his  well  trained  manner.  The  benediction  was  invoked 
by  Rev.  Father  Martin  Julian  of  Ocean  City. 


T.  A.  M.  P.  A. 

These  proceedings  would  not  be  complete  without  due  reference 
to  our  splendix  auxiliary  the  T.A.M.P.A. 

Most  of  the  plans  which  are  made  for  our  entertainment,  the 
registrations  for  the  meeting  and  many  other  sundry  items  which  go 
a  long  way  toward  making  our  conventions  the  real  success  attained, 
can  be  attributed  to  the  work  and  zeal  of  the  members  of  the 
T.A.M.P.A. 

We  doff  our  hats  and  extend  our  grateful  appreciation  to  all 
of  you  swell  boys.

A  CODE  OF  ETHICS 

For  the  guidance  of  members  of  this  Association  and  all  pharmacists  of 
the  State  who  may  wish  to  follow  the  higher  practice  of  their  profession. 

Respecting  the  Pharmacist  Himself 

First — He  should,  by  study,  experimentation,  investigation  and  practice, 
thoroughly  qualifying  himself  to  fully  meet  and  competently  transact  the 
daily  requirements  of  his  vocation. 

Second — He  should  possess  a  good  moral  character  and  should  not  be 
addicted  to  the  improper  use  of  narcotic  drugs  nor  the  excessive  use  of 
alcoholic  stimulants. 

Third — He  should  constantly  endeavor  to  enlarge  his  store  of  knowledge; 
he  should,  as  far  as  possible,  read  current  pharmaceutical  literature:  he 
should  encourage  all  such  pharmaceutical  organizations  as  seem  to  be  help¬ 
ful  to  the  profession,  and  so  deport  himself  as  not  to  detract  from  the 
dignity  and  honor  of  the  calling  this  Association,  especially  is  trying  to 
elevate. 

Fourth — He  should  accept  the  standards  and  requirements  of  the  United 
States  Pharmacopoeia  and  the  National  Formulary  for  the  articles  of  Materia 
Medica  and  the  preparations  recognized  by  these  publications,  and,  as  far 
as  possible,  should  promote  the  use  of  these  and  discourage  the  use  of  pro¬ 
prietaries  and  nostrums. 

Respecting  the  Pharmacist’s  Relation  With  Those 
From  Whom  He  Makes  Purchases 

First — He  should  deal  fairly  with  these,  all  goods  received  in  error  or 
excess,  and  all  undercharges,  should  be  as  promptly  reported  as  are  short¬ 
ages  and  overcharges.  Containers  not  charged  for  and  not  included  in  the 
charge  of  contents  should  be  carefully  returned,  or,  if  used  should  be  credited 
to  the  party  to  whom  they  belong. 

Second — He  should  earnestly  strive  to  follow  all  trade  regulations  and 
rules,  promptly  meet  obligations,  closely  follow  all  contracts  and  agreements, 
and  should  not  encourage  or  sanction  any  division  of  quantity  purchases  not 
contemplated  in  the  terms  of  sale. 

Respecting  the  Pharmacist’s  Relation  With  His 

F  ELLOW-PH  ARM  ACIST 

First— In  this  relationship  he  should,  especially,  “do  as  he  would  be  done 
by.”  He  should  not  make  any  comment  or  use  any  form  of  advertisement 
that  will  reflect  upon  a  member  of  the  profession,  generally  or  specifically. 
Nor  should  he  do  that  which  will  in  any  way  discredit  the  standing  of  other 
pharmacists  in  the  minds  of  either  physicians  or  laymen. 

Second — He  should  not  obtain,  surreptitiously,  or  use  the  private  form¬ 
ulas  of  another,  nor  should  he  imitate  or  use  another’s  preparations,  labels 
or  special  forms  of  advertising.

Third — He  should  not  fill  orders  or  prescriptions  which  come  to  him  by 
mistake.  Prescription  containers  with  copies  and  labels  of  another  phar- 
macist  upon  them  may  be  filled  by  him  upon  request  but  he  must  invariably 
replace  the  labels  with  his  own,  thereby  assuming  proper  responsibility. 

Fourth — He  should  never  request  a  copy  of  a  prescription  from  another 
pharmacist;  the  owner  of  the  prescription,  being  alone  entitled  to  a  copy,  is 
the  proper  person  to  ask  for  it. 

Fifth — He  may  borrow  merchandise  from  another  pharmacist,  provided 
the  practice  is  reciprocal  and  equally  agreeable  to  both  parties;  but  the 
better  form  is  to  pay  a  sum  for  the  desired  article  equal  to  the  cost  and  half 
of  the  profit  to  be  obtained. 

Respecting  the  Pharmacist’s  Relation  With  Physicians 

First — He  should  positively  refuse  to  prescribe  for  customers  except  in 
case  of  urgent  emergency. 

Second — He  should  not,  under  any  circumstances,  substitute  one  article 
for  another,  or  one  make  of  an  article  for  another,  in  a  physician’s  prescrip¬ 
tion  without  the  physician’s  consent. 

Third — He  should  refuse  to  re-fill  prescriptions  or  give  copies  of  them 
when  so  instructed  by  the  physician. 

Fourth — He  should  not  place  copies  of  prescriptions  upon  containers  un¬ 
less  ordered  to  do  so  by  the  prescriber,  even  though  the  patient  should  request 
it.  Nor  should  he  use  any  word  or  label,  like  “For  External  Use,”  “Poison,” 
“Caution,”  etc.,  with  due  regard  for  the  wishes  of  the  prescriber,  provided 
the  safety  of  the  patient  and  family  is  not  jeopardized. 

Fifth — Whenever  there  is  a  doubt  as  to  the  correctness  of  the  physician’s 
prescription  or  directions,  he  should  invariably  confer  with  the  physician  in 
order  to  avoid  possible  mistakes  or  unpleasantness;  changes  in  prescriptions 
should  not  be  made  without  such  conference. 

Repecting  the  Pharmacist’s  Relations  With  His  Patrons 

First — He  should  seek  to  merit  the  confidence  of  his  customers,  which, 
when  won,  should  be  jealously  guarded  and  never  abused  by  extortion  or 
misrepresentation. 

Second — He  should  supply  products  of  standard  quality  only  to  patrons, 
excepting  when  something  inferior  is  specified  and  paid  for  by  them. 

Third — He  should  charge  no  more  than  fair,  equitable  prices  for  mer¬ 
chandise  and  prescriptions;  but  the  time  required  for  the  proper  preparation 
of  prescriptions  should  be  duly  considered  and  paid  for. 

Fourth — He  should  hold  the  safety  and  health  of  his  patrons  to  be  of 
first  consideration;  he  should  make  no  attempt  to  treat  disease  nor  strive 
to  sell  nostrums  or  specifics  simply  for  the  sake  of  profit. 

Fifth — He  should  consider  the  reckless  or  continued  sale  of  drugs  to 
habitues  and  the  illicit  sale  of  abortive  medicines  or  poisons  to  be  practices 
unbecoming  a  gentleman,  a  pharmacist  and  a  member  of  this  Association.

Preamble 

Whereas,  To  promote  progress  and  to  guard  the  welfare  of  our  profession, 
students  of  pharmacy  and  pharmacists  should  be  thoroughly  organized,  and 

Whereas,  The  relationships  existing  between  pharmacists  and  students 
of  pharmacy  are,  and  ought  to  be,  of  an  intimate  and  confidential  character, 
and 

Whereas,  There  exists  a  necessity  for  the  enactment  of  just,  yet  stringent 
laws,  in  the  interest  of  public  health,  to  guard  against  the  adulteration  of 
food  and  medicine  and  to  confine  the  compounding,  dispensing,  and  distribu¬ 
tion  of  drugs  and  medicines  to  those  who  are  thoroughly  competent,  and

Whatever  doubt  once  existed  as  to  the  efficacy  of  antihistamines 
for  the  common  cold  has  been  dispelled  by  Coricidin. 
Providing  clear-cut  alleviation  of  symptoms  in  the  majority 
of  patients,  Coricidin  has  proved  that  a  potent,  well-tolerated 
compound  makes  the  difference  between  success  and  failure. 

Doctors  and  patients  are  convinced  of  the  benefits  of 
Coricidin.  As  their  pharmacist,  you  benefit  from  their 
conviction  with  increased  sales  volume. 


CORICIDIN 


tablets 

for  the  common  cold 

Coricidin  contains  Cblor-Trimeton®  Maleate,  the 
antihistamine  effective  in  smallest  dosage— combined  with 

acetylsalicylic  acid,  acetophenetidin  and  caffeine.

to  pick  up  good  books.  And  if  you  have  them,  those

PREMIUM  ICE  CREAM  AT  THE  REGULAR  PINT  PRICE! 


Physicians  often  are  confronted 
with  the  necessity  of  prescribing  a 
bulk  laxative  which  is  safe,  yet 
effective. 

LIQUID  COLOGEL 

(Methylcellulose,  Lilly)  has  proved 
of  value  in  the  treatment  of  both 
acute  and  chronic  constipation. 
‘Cologel’  is  a  9  percent  colloidal 
solution  of  methylcellulose,  pleas¬ 
antly  flavored.  It  is  designed  to 
hold  water  in  the  large  intestine 
and  allow  the  formation  in  the 
colon  of  normal,  soft  feces,  which 
may  be  evacuated  in  the  natural 
manner  without  irritation  or  strain. 
‘Cologel’  is  supplied  in  eight-ounce 
and  one-pint  bottles.

When  the  doctor  says  "Get  Tyrozets,”  the  patient  gets  ’em.  Price  is  no 
object.  And  you  profit  accordingly.  In  place  of  the  usual  five-and-dime 
sale  of  a  throat  lozenge,  you  make  a  75-cent  sale.  Your  customer  gets 
better  medication,  for  each  of  the  12  Tyrozets®  lozenges  contains  1  mg. 
of  antibiotic  tyrothricin  and  5  mg.  of  soothing  benzocaine.  Supplied  in 
the  distinctive  amber  plastic  vial.  The  big,  sore-throat  season  is  here. 
Check  your  stock  of  Tyrozets  now.  A  box  of  12  vials  takes  only  a  few

Turnover  has  two 
at  the  Fountain 


meanings 


Figures  show  that  the  fountain  has  the  fastest  merchandise  turnover  of  any 
department  in  the  drug  store.  In  addition,  the  fountain  turns  over  the  greatest 
number  of  customers  to  all  other  departments. 

R  ight-buying  and  right-handling  of  Coca-Cola  Syrup  give  you  fifty-two 
turns  a  year  on  your  leading  fountain  item,  Coca-Cola.  Ask  your  good  friend, 
the  Coca-Cola  salesman,  for  the  whole  profitable  story  on  right-buying.  It’s 
worth  listening  to.

LET  ’EM  SEE  YOUR  MERCHANDISE 

Retail  experts  have  estimated  that  at  least  87  percent 
of  all  customer  impressions  are  visual.  Moreover,  most  of 
those  impressions  are  received  at  eye  level. 

That  fact  indicates  how  important  it  is  that  you  get  as 
much  of  your  store  merchandise  as  possible  out  where  it 
can  be  seen  easily. 

Hidden  merchandise  will  never  sell,  no  matter  how  good 
it  is.  Take  it  out  of  the  lower  shelves  and  from  under  the 
counter  and  put  it  out  where  it  is  "in  the  Public  eye". 

Remember,  the  average  customer  often  can't  be  both¬ 
ered  asking  you  for  an  item  he  can't  see.  If  he  doesn't  see 
it,  he  figures  you  probably  haven't  got  it,  and  he's  already 


decided  to  go  down  the  street  where  he  knows  they  have  it  ^ 
because  it's  on  display.  $

For  throat  irritations  'Thantis’*  Lozenges  provide  effec¬ 
tive  relief.  'Thantis’  Lozenges  are  especially  beneficial  in 
soothing  these  conditions  because  they  are  both  antiseptic 
and  anesthetic  for  mucous  membranes  of  the  throat  and  mouth. 
These  effects  are  due  to  the  two  active  medicinal  agents, 
'Merodicein’*  an  antiseptic  of  low  toxicity,  and  Saligenin,  a 
mild  local  anesthetic.  When  'Thantis’  Lozenges  are  dissolved 
in  the  mouth,  the  two  ingredients  dissolve  slowly,  providing 
prolonged  medication  of  the  throat. 

Be  sure  to  maintain  a  good  supply  of  'Thantis’  Loz¬ 
enges  during  the  "cold  season”. 

Each  lozenge  contains  'Merodicein’  (H.W.  &  D.  brand  of 
monohydroxymercuridiiodoresorcinsulfonphthalein-sodium) 
grain,  Saligenin  (orthohydroxybenzyl-alcohol,  H.  W.  &  D.) 
1  grain. 


Supplied  in  vials  of 
cartons  packed  in  dozens.
